Abstract
Among the various types of air purifiers available in the market, some products are more complex and difficult to use than others. This study aims to suggest a method to derive products, which are convenient to use, through the evaluation of an air purifier control panel using eye-tracking. An experiment was conducted with 28 housewives, in which various tasks using an air purifier were presented to them. The usage errors were measured and the tasks with low success rates were analyzed. As a result, the preferred icon and button names could be identified in Steps 5 and 6, where the success rates were low. Therefore, the convenience of using the control panel was accurately evaluated. Based on the obtained results, the study proposes the use of eye tracking as an evaluation method to derive qualitative data to increase the usability of control panels on home appliances such as air purifiers.
