Abstract

At present, the functions of mobile payment Apps are increasing, and the interface elements are more diversified, which is more suitable for young people. However, the elderly are different from young people. They have special group characteristics, especially visual aging. This paper will use eye-tracking technology to record the behavior performance and visual experience data of the elderly subjects when using different mobile payment Apps, obtain the subjective experience data of the elderly subjects by combining the questionnaire survey method, and then analyze the impact of color design and font size design of the Apps interface on the overall user experience of the elderly. The difference in Apps interface is reflected in background color and font size. The research results can provide an important reference for the interface design of mobile payment Apps for the elderly, help to improve the user experience level of App, enable the elderly to better use high-tech products, and also enrich the human-computer interaction interface design theories.
