“…In the Icon 2.0 era, research on icons has become more extensive due to the introduction of touch technology and mobile devices, such as icon size, 5,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] border shapes [19][20][21][22] and color schemes. 20,21,[23][24][25] Of which, research related to icon size has focused on operational performance, that were, selection speed and accuracy.…”

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.

“…Studies have indicated that grid size and pictogram spacing affect search performance. Tadayin et al (2018) determined that a grid size of 3 × 4 is the most efficient grid size in menu selection. They observed a significant difference in the search performance achieved with grid sizes 2 × 3 and 3 × 4.…”

Objective This study aimed to determine suitable combinations of text and pictogram sizes for older adults and investigated the visual prioritization of pictogram versus text. Background Icons have become an indispensable part of application (app) design. Pictogram size and text size of icons influence the usability of apps, especially by aged users. However, few studies have investigated the influences of different pictogram and text size combinations on readability, legibility, and visual search performance for older adults. Method This study used eye-tracking technology to investigate the effects of different pictogram and text size combinations as well as familiarity on readability, legibility, and visual search performance for older adults. A 3 (pictogram size) × 3 (text size) × 2 (familiarity) repeated-measures experimental design was used. Results The results of this study suggest that pictogram size and text size significantly affect visual search performance and that familiarity moderates the effect of text size on distribution of fixation duration proportion for text and pictograms. Conclusion Large pictogram and text sizes improved the readability and legibility of icons for older adults. Furthermore, the older adults fixated the area of text prior to pictograms when the pictogram size was larger than 72 × 72 px (1.38° × 1.38°) in the visual search task. Application The results of this study suggest using different combinations of pictogram and text sizes for older adults under different scenarios. The findings of this study act as practical support for designers and developers of mobile apps for older adults.
