Research on Universal Design of Smart Home Interface Navigation Based on Visual Interaction.

The study focuses on analyzing the design characteristics of display and control interface navigation in smart home terminals for users of different ages. By examining the design features of the current typical smart home terminal display and control interface navigation, interface navigation design is the research object. Experimental research is conducted with young adult group (n = 15) and middle-aged to elderly group (n = 15) participants to identify the optimal interface navigation design through specific behavioral indicators, eye movement indicators, and subjective indicators. The results show that different interface layouts impact task completion performance. Middle-aged and older individuals perform better with multi-level highlighting operations. Both age groups prefer interface layouts featuring less-level dual navigation, specifically the left-side type, and multi-level highlighting. These results can improve the versatility of smart home interface design, expand the user base, and provide information for developing smart products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
