This thesis conducts an ergonomic study of the browsing
structures and
information units of entertainment websites with multimedia
content. This survey
involves a case study of the XBOX 360 promotional website,
considering the
content´s presentation in a grid that simulates the shift
of the screen elements and
the interaction evaluation allowed through the page based
on the users` point of
view. The study has the following hypotheses. The absence
of feedback during the
selection of an animated content item and the difficulty
understanding of the
browsing controls are barriers that make it difficult for
users to interact with the
spatial browsing structure present on the XBOX 360 website.
The second
hypothesis considers the esthetics and graphic innovation
of the interface
minimize the users` perception of the usability problems
found on the screen
during the interaction in addition to maximizing the
pleasure and encouraging the
use of the site. In the first part of the survey, we
present the theoretical references
that contain the following concepts: interaction design,
emotion associated with
the screen design and satisfaction in terms of usability.
This survey also considers
in its bibliographic revision that entertainment is a
relevant factor for stimulating
the exploration of the elements contained on the screen.
Furthermore, the concept
of flow is emphasized as it means full satisfaction from a
pleasurable user
experience. The second part of the survey presents the
survey design and methods,
techniques and survey procedures used in the study (the
Creating Personas
Questionnaire, Content Analysis, Scenarios, Usability Test
and Pleasure
Evaluation Questionnaire). These techniques were employed
in the survey in
order to collect opinions, learn habits and find data on
the user population.
Finally, this work presented the main difficulties reported
by users during the
usability tests and application of the Questionnaire for
User Interaction
Satisfaction (QUIS). These difficulties can be summarized
as follows: the absence
of text feedback in the selection of buttons, the passive
position that the rotation
animation imposes and the understanding of resources that
would facilitate direct
access to website content.
