Research on the generality of icon sizes based on visual attention

Abstract

Icon size is one of the key factors affecting the efficiency of information search. The advent of the era of intelligent interaction has made it difficult for icon design to meet the requirements of noncontact, large information volume, and high precision proposed by natural interaction technology in the future. At the same time, with the continuous improvement of display technology, the display resolution has been increased from 720 P to 8 K. Different sizes of display carriers use different resolutions. In order for icons to have efficient recognition at different display resolutions, it is necessary to obtain the best proportional relationship between icon size and display resolution. This paper summarizes the existing relevant research, calculates the ratio of recommended icon size and display resolution as the research variables, and comprehensively evaluates the recommended optimal ratio range of 1:641–1:334 through eye movement, EEG and behavioral response experiments and entropy‐weight TOPSIS method, providing a reference for icon design in various forms of interactive interfaces in the future.
