2. DIFFERENCE OF PERCEPTION AMONG PROGRESS INDICATORS
FEELINGS OF PROGRESS INDICATOR
▸When Computer (And smartphone) programs can’t be
executed instantaneously (fast enough so the user does not
notice a delay), a progress indicator is used to inform user of
its condition.
▸Progress indicators?
3. PURPOSE
▸How are they different?
(when people see different indicator for the same job)
▸When we want to give an intended feelings to user,
which design factor is the better one?

Hello. I’m 김병헌. I explored for progress indicator and This time I want to share what I know from this research.
The progress indicator, which appears when computer need a time to execute something heavy, usually inform user of its condition.
And, I wanted to know ‘the difference of feelings of progress indicator’. What i mean by this is I think these two indicator have different feeling. do you think so?
We know there’s many kinds of progress indicator but I want to analyze how are they different and I want to know which is better for specific purpose.
So, I followed Kansei engineering process. At first, I collected information about progress indicator.
And then, Classify adjectives and select adjective pairs by counting how many time an adjective appears on related materials.
These are top 10 famous adjective pairs at the materials of progress indicator.
And then, With the classified result of second step, I created test stimuli and categorize them into ”Linear – Circular” first. And give some characteristic of animating and looping on that.
So now, let’s see my stimuli and guess what happen in your mind.
Experiment was done with eleven participant. They saw stimulus and then answered for 10 adjectives pairs using same computer. And then they went to next stimulus in random order.
The analyzed data from matlab with pcb is shown these two graph. And I decided to get two principal component.
This is how stimuli are located. Can you see something?
The first principal component which is x axis is closely related with efficient.
And the second principal component which is y axis is related with hopeful(행복한) and happy.
By rearrange stimuli, I can name the first component as ”intuitive”
And By rearrange stimuli again, I can name the second component as ”enjoyable”
So I can name each space as you can see, and then I’m going to what is my conclusion.
At first, Linear progress indicator is less enjoyable than others.
Circular Progress indicators are located at Enjoyable are without infinite looping one, and the linear progress indicators tend to be located at not enjoyable area.
And Non-Animated Progress indicator is always intuitive.
The simplest progress indicator is most intuitive one. And this figure shows that the others are required to effort on recognizing.
And the last two conclusion are ““Looping” intensify its feeling.” and “Infinite Progress indicator gives negative feelings.”
This is what I’m interested. The most enjoyable and most not-enjoyable stimuli have infinitely looping element. For example,
The bubble on the circle, infinitely changing Color variation on the linear curved one. And once again, this are located at the end of enjoyable axis.
That all for what I explored. And I can try imagine most intuitive and most enjoyable one. Which is
Circular
