Abstract
Equipment in the next few years. As large-screen personal devices to view virtual exhibitions, tablet computer and computers have two interactive modes of touch and mouse. This study aims to investigate whether mouse and touch affect users’ usability and immersion experience. During the process, the typical interactive actions of viewing online exhibitions under the two methods of tablet pc touch and computer mouse were extracted, and 2 typical tasks were set up. The operation count and operation time were recorded, and then the usability and immersion scores were obtained by subjective scale. Finally, a brief experience interview was conducted to investigate the experience differences of viewing virtual exhibitions under different interactive modes. The results showed that the usability score and immersion score of using tablet pc touch were better than using computer mouse, and the operation time was more for the table pc than for computer mouse. The results of this research can be used as a reference for the interactive design of the online virtual exhibition on tablet pc and computer.
