  1. DVD Menu User Interface Guidelines • Group 4 • Ulrike Bauer, Nico Hertweck, Christine Karlsson, Jelena Maywald, Tobias Nickel

  2. Introduction • DVD menus often miss out on usability and are difficult to navigate through • Group of four Austrian scientists (Technology Center Schwechat) developed guidelines for designing usable DVD menus. • Their final guidelines are the basics of our research.

  3. Our mission: • Evaluate the usbility of 10 DVD menus by using 3 aspects of the developed guidelines of the Technology Center Schwechat.

  4. We chose the following aspects: • Introduction • Main Menu • Navigation

  5. What the aspects consist of:

  6. Requirements for Introduction

  7. Requirements for main menu:

  8. Requirements for navigation:

  9. DVDs we chose to evaluate: • Fight Club • Trainspotting • K-Pax • Der Pianist • Harold and Maude • American Beauty • Lost in Translation • Equilibrium • City of God • Being John Malcowic

  10. procedure: • insert DVD • check for length of “legal-spot” • evaluate pre-menu • proof skip ability of remote control • check other features

  11. procedure: • In case the DVD fulfills a requirement, it earns as much credits as the team of scientists had preselected for this feature - up to a maximum of five points. • High importance = 5 points • Low importance = 1 point • If a requirement is not fulfilled, the DVD doesn’t get any points.

  12. Results

  13. Results Introduction:

  14. Results Main Menu:

  15. Results Navigation:

  16. Conclusion: Tops: Menu background, background text and clear mapping are easy to use Flops: All introduction features fail the usability guidelines miserably

  17. problems/criticism: !! Since we evaluated only 10 DVDs this is not a representative study !! Is the exact wording that important?
