Human-Computer Interaction: Influences on Autistic Users

摘要

This paper presents a systematic analysis of the existing studies in two research areas: (1) effects that animated objects might have on users, and (2) HCI studies with autistic users. The aim of this work is to broaden current knowledge of the effect of animation on user interface usability. We systematically analysed the state of the art in the related research areas and identified many gaps that should be addressed, as well as proposed the solution to cover these gaps. Our goal is to analyse the performance variance between neurotypical users and autistic individuals in order to gauge task achievement, webpage navigability, and ability to focus.
