Abstract

Usability guidelines is an important factor in designing and developing of successful user interfaces, and also the most widely used principle in the field of software engineering that defines the application’s demand and usage. Due to this reason, there are strong demands to conduct a study that focuses in developing new usability guidelines to design user interfaces of mobile game applications for children. Therefore, this study aimed at exploring the usability guidelines and investigating the importance of these guidelines in designing the user interfaces for mobile game application to be used among 1 to 3 years old children. As a result, a total number of 87 guidelines in which categorized into 17 usability characteristics were found highly associated in designing usable user interfaces for mobile game applications for these categories of users. This research effort has been in a position to derive a preliminary specification and scheme specifically for designing usable interfaces as well as developing mobile game applications from the perspective of children aged 1 to 3 years old.

开发儿童手机游戏应用的初步可用性指南:从用户界面的角度

可用性指导方针是设计和开发成功的用户界面的重要因素，也是软件工程领域中使用最广泛的原则，它定义了应用程序的需求和使用。因此，迫切需要开展一项研究，专注于开发新的可用性指南，以设计儿童手机游戏应用程序的用户界面。因此，本研究旨在探索可用性指南，并调查这些指南在设计1至3岁儿童手机游戏应用用户界面时的重要性。因此，在为这些类别的用户设计可用的手机游戏应用界面时，总共有87条指导原则(分为17个可用性特征)被发现是高度相关的。这项研究工作已经能够得出一个初步的规范和方案，专门用于设计可用的界面，以及从1至3岁儿童的角度开发手机游戏应用程序。
