Aalto Interface Metrics (AIM): A Service and Codebase for Computational GUI Evaluation
The 31st Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology Adjunct Proceedings, New York, NY, USA, October 14 - 17, 2018
Abstract
Aalto Interface Metrics (AIM) pools several empirically validated models and metrics of user perception and attention into an easy-to-use online service for the evaluation of graphical user interface (GUI) designs. Users input a GUI design via URL, and select from a list of 17 different metrics covering aspects ranging from visual clutter to visual learnability. AIM presents detailed breakdowns, visualizations, and statistical comparisons, enabling designers and practitioners to detect shortcomings and possible improvements. The web service and code repository are available at interfacemetrics.aalto.fi.
