“…In the shopping website, the user completes a series of shopping actions by manipulating the mouse. Oney et al (2018) also argued that the mouse hovering on the web page as a visual interaction is becoming increasingly popular among users (Figure 1). Previous research has found that mouse hovering reduces user time and steps (Alhindi et al, 2015), increasing the attractiveness and satisfaction of users searching for information (Huang et al, 2012).…”

PurposeThe implementation of interaction design concepts to facilitate communication between users and shopping websites has gained increasing attention in recent years. Mouse hover is a vital interaction method for users to access shopping sites and significantly impacts their decision-making experience. A well-designed mouse hover function can effectively enhance the user's search performance and improve the user experience. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the dynamic prompt designs at the hover position and the degree of feedback transparency may affect the user's task performance and personal feelings when operating the hover function on the shopping website.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed two independent variables in the experiments: dynamic prompt and background transparency of hover feedback. A between-subject design of 2 (single flicker and continuous flicker) × 3 (transparency at 0%, 25%, and 50%) was adopted in the experiment. A total of 60 participants were invited to participate in the experiment using the purposive sampling method. Participants were asked to complete four operation tasks, and the time of each was recorded. They were then asked to complete the system usability scale (SUS) questionnaire and conduct subjective evaluations before they were briefly interviewed.FindingsThe generated results revealed that: (1) In the interaction with a shopping website, the degree of background transparency of hover feedback affected the participants' task performance. (2) The effect of a single flicker had significantly higher subjective evaluation results regarding the degree of rationality compared with a continuous flicker. (3) The participants' perceptions of the information clarity were affected when the background transparency of hover feedback was 50%. (4) The effect of a continuous flicker was better than that of a single flicker when the background transparency of hover feedback was 25%. The participants' attraction to a continuous flicker was significantly higher than that of a single flicker. Nonetheless, when the degree of background transparency was at 0% or 50%, the results were the opposite.Originality/valueThe findings generated from the research can be a reference for the development of hover operation in the user interface design for shopping websites.

Creating user interfaces that are natural, guessable, learnable, memorable and accessible is a persistent challenge.Involving end users in the design process is a well-established approach to address these challenges, but traditional participatory design has limitations, especially when it comes to scaling beyond the lab and reaching diverse participants. I build on the success of a popular participatory design method called end-user elicitation. Elicitation studies work by presenting the effect of an interaction (e.g., what happens after a user makes a gesture) and asking end-user participants to perform the action that would have caused that effect (e.g., the gesture itself). Despite their success, elicitation studies have important limitations. They typically are confined to a lab setting, limiting the number of participants, their diversity and the representativeness of the results. Also, analyzing the studies' results is a laborious process. Furthermore, elicitation studies lack a formal approach to evaluate the quality of their results. My work addresses these limitations by scaling beyond the lab and conducting distributed elicitation studies with online crowds. In this dissertation, I have created an open platform and formulated the Distributed Interaction Design (DXD) process. This work overall contributes methodological extensions to elicitation studies, an open platform for the research community, and empirical studies of user-generated interactions such as gestures, voice commands, and icons. The thesis I demonstrate in this work is:Using a custom-built platform to conduct Distributed Interaction Design (DXD) enables: creating user-elicited interactions; evaluating the guessability, learnability, and memorability of interaction designs; and the recruitment of participants through third-party services in a timely manner.
