Abstract
The rapid advancement of technology has prompted significant changes in the design of high-tech products, transitioning from physical operation interfaces to virtual interfaces, such as touch screens. This study focuses on the operation interface of automotive control panels and investigates the differences in kansei evaluation and user preferences between physical and virtual interfaces. Through kansei evaluations and eye-tracking experiments, participants’ subjective evaluations and visual attention patterns towards both interface types are analyzed. The findings indicate that participants’ attention is primarily directed towards the control panel interface and the steering wheel, highlighting the considerable impact of these designs on kansei evaluations. Furthermore, the control panel interface receives a greater number of visual fixations compared to the steering wheel, indicating users’ heightened visual focus on this area. Additionally, the position and size of the screen significantly influence the distribution of participants’ visual attention, with vertical or large screens attracting more gaze. This research contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the kansei differences during the transition from physical to virtual interfaces. The findings provide valuable insights for interface design research and offer practical design recommendations for automotive control panel interfaces.
