Abstract
There are many aspects of interface design such as typography, information flow, visual hierarchy, navigation, interaction style et cetera. Each of these aspects must be used in consideration with whom the user of the system or application. This research focuses on menu icon for elderly using pictorial representation, photograph representation and combination of both pictorial and photograph representation. A total of four hundred and sixty-eight responses (52 participants × 3 menu representations × 3 tasks) were collected followed by a second experiment involving six hundred responses (50 participants × 4 menu representations × 3 tasks). Tasks were assigned randomly from a set of tasks to minimize the learning effect biases. One-way analysis of variance was conducted to examine the effect of menu representation on the time needed to complete a task and number of steps needed to complete a task. Despite the decreasing condition of visual ability, most elderlies tend to read the menu label. Due to the limited space on mobile device, most texts used small fonts, therefore it is difficult for an elderly to read the label. Alternatively, mobile application design for elderly can use icons to represents menu items. A simple icon with minimal feature is recommended instead of a photograph or a picture menu representation.
