dc.description.abstract | This paper is about a continuing investigation aiming to find o
ut which menu type is more useable on a web site or
application. This paper specifically compares pie menus with li
near menus. Although other researchers have investigated
similar themes it is felt that there is still not enough knowle
dge regarding the various effects of different menu types,
including their positioning on a screen. An empirical approach
using an experiment to test the effectiveness and user
satisfaction of a pie menu and a linear menu is described in de
tail. Four tasks were administered to experimental
participants under each menu design in a within users experimen
tal design. Overall task time, number of errors and
participants' subjective opinions were measured. The data were
statistically analysed. There were no statistically significant
results for task times and errors. However, subjective opinions
were overall statistically significant, suggesting a preferenc
e
for the pie menu by participants. These results are interesting
for all web designers, user interface designers and
developers. The issues being investigated are rather complex, b
ecause there is no clear pattern of results to suggest a
categorical ‘best design’. These results add to the current kno
wledge in existence regarding menu types and to the wish of
understanding better the issues involved with menu types. | en_US |
