-Original Message- I think Luke W's article (posted on this thread previously) answers a lot of our questions based on research and statistical data. Primary button should be on the left, secondary button on the right. Buttons should be left aligned. -Juan [Brian Hoffman] Greetings everyone! New subscriber here. Unless I'm missing something, I don't believe this conclusion can be drawn from Luke W's article. Of the options he studied, none of them had the primary button to the right next to the secondary button with both of them left aligned. Only one of the variations had the primary button to the right of the secondary button and in that case the buttons were fill-justified, which could make an enormous difference with a left-justified form. What I'm wondering is, did participants have the option to hit Enter on their keyboard instead of clicking on a button to submit the form and, if so, how many people used that option and never even looked at the buttons?

[IxDA Discuss] Does eye-tracking carry any real meaning?
23 rules actionable lessons from eye-tracking studies: http://tinyurl.com/yrhydu I'm curious whether or not others on the list take this stuff seriously. I haven't decided yet if I think eye-tracking is a useful tool, and although I definitely have some opinions on the subject, I'd like some other perspectives to form a better picture. Several of these actionable lessons bother me. For example, One-column formats perform better in eye-fixation than multi-column formats. * * This seems painfully obvious, and also completely useless. Of course a single-column is going to perform better - you only have to look at a single column rather than two! But how does this help us? I'm certainly not going to start using single-column layouts all the time just because it's faster. When it comes down to it, a few seconds difference in the time it takes to digest a page isn't going to make or break a user's experience. What matters is whether the content is worth it. What matters is whether the value in exploring the page outweighs the difficulty in doing so. Another: Ads placed next to the best content are seen more often. Again, painfully obvious. But does this mean that people actually see the ads, or that they happen to fixate on them for more than a millisecond? Does it mean they read them? Click them more often? There are so many factors to consider in web design and usability, it's hard to imagine that eye-tracking results can yield information that is truly helpful. -r- *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] OK/Cancel
All of the participants (23) used the buttons on all of the options (6). So 138 times out of 138 tested, no on used hit Enter to complete a form. The options we chose were based off an audit of Web forms not desktop apps. Hence why you don't see some of the variations you are asking about. I pulled the most common solutions that came up. thanks~ On Nov 21, 2007, at 8:04 AM, Todd Zaki Warfel wrote: Excellent question. Luke, any insights into this?

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Does eye-tracking carry any real meaning?
Good points. But this follows the old saw that to the guy with a hammer, the whole world looks like a nail. All that the eye-tracking tells you is that the user's eyes spend a lot of time looking at specific parts of the screen/page. No more, no less. Eye tracking provides useful inputs once one has already developed a couple of alternative design prototypes. It can help one make design choices some way along the design proces, but eye-tracking alone cannot drive design. Indeed, I don't know of any one technique which by itself can or should drive design. Despite having a strong techie background myself, I let my intuitions guide me in coming up with rough cuts which then can be measured against various guidelines, paradigms or methods. I believe that guidelines are useful aids/heuristics for those who already have an eye and a feel for design, and who therefore know when to respect or reject received wisdom; but no amount of guidelines can turn a random person into a designer. -murli nagasundaram www.murli.com *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Does eye-tracking carry any real meaning?
From Nancy Broden: One question I do have for the eye-tracking supporters out there: if the results culled from all the eye-tracking studies where implemented wouldn't all of our websites look the same or at least very, very similar? _ I do not consider myself an eye-tracking supporter anymore then I consider myself a supporter of Allen wrenches (it is just a tool). Also, as a consultant I have never encountered a situation in which I felt eye tracking was the correct tool for the job. If I was back in academia, I could imagine lots of times I would want to use it. Those caveats out of the way, lots of standards and best practices have evolved on where to place navigations and body content. But in no way do all sites look the same. These studies mean something in aggregate. You take the results from all of the studies and you use your training and judgment to apply it. If an eye tracking study just reports the results as a list of commandments with none of the data or methodology behind it... then we really can not use the results in our day-to-day job. _ From Nancy Broden: Eye-tracking feels like a desperate attempt to scientifically prove the value of Design (with a big D) . I don't have enough time to wade into that one... ___ I can see coming to that conclusion if we are just using it to study a small set of marketing sites or some e-commerce sites. But I recently read a great article (sorry can not find the link, but I hope someone on this list has it) where an eye tracking study was used to aid in the design of software for radiologists. What they found was that radiologists had higher dwell times on tumors that they missed. They where able to determine some of the misses the radiologists may have caught on their own if they where better able to go back to past images. Given that the fast bulk of what they look at are true negatives, their muscle memory kicks in and they mark an image as negative before they fully processed it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] OK/Cancel [wrong heading - Jaiku ]
You are right. I should have said, based on your personas, you should know which applications or browsers your users use and if they are primarily Windows users, even on a web page, you should follow Windows conventions. Of course, I'm speaking from a more corporate experience than the users who may not work outside the home and just use the web, not any applications. One of my reasons is that Microsoft and Apple had done a lot of research when writing the style guides for their desktop applications. Just because we are now using the web, we shouldn't ignore their research. But, just my opinion. I happen to be a consistency-freak. I'm also really against having OK be a button while the Cancel is a text link. Buttons are to perform actions--OK and Cancel are both actions.

But, what about online apps? We cannot determine what browser the visitor is using, and then from it, decide the order of the buttons. How about the millions of Google's users?

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Does eye-tracking carry any real meaning?
just a little sidenote: it is fascinating to read the comments that people have left to the originally quoted article - lots and lots of incredibly positive and thankful comments with people talking of going back and redesigning their sites as a result of this information. it says a lot for the great demand out there for someone to make these grand pronouncements about what works and what doesn't (with or without context). People do love their rules don't they. I always find it a constant balancing act to try to give people this sense of perceived value through pronouncements and actually getting them to understand the context in which the design decisions are being made.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Does eye-tracking carry any real meaning?
I think part of the problem with the article is that it frames eye tracking as a tool for drawing sweeping conclusions, when it seems far more appropriate for assessing a specific design and improving performance in a manner similar to split testing (e.g. is this heading getting ignored? What about if it were a little smaller?). Eye tracking isn't relevant to branding issues or suggest solutions, but it can give detailed feedback on a design's ergonomics and help identify problems. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Does eye-tracking carry any real meaning?
Ah yes, eye tracking - it's like the intelligent design debate of our field. A few points to add: -The reaction of isn't that obvious to some of the points reminds me of reactions to findings from usability testing years ago. Yes it may be apparently obvious, but that doesn't mean it's not worth validating (see Freakanomics, for example). -Eye tracking can be useful for diagnosing problems, not so much for identifying them. For example, a viewer may miss a critical item on the screen - eye tracking can reveal whether the element was visually detected or overlooked and direct changes accordingly. -There are some specific applications where eye tracking is particularly useful. The radiology example was one. Another is when we used eye tracking to determine whether a novel interface feature (spatially expanding visual cue in the periphery) was affecting visual scanning patterns. Incidentally, in some cases attention precedes eye movements, and vice-versa: http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/psocpubs/prp/2004/0066/0003/art4 Happy Thanksgiving. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Communicating the need for context and it depends (Was: Does eye-tracking carry any real meaning?)
It is tempting to dismiss pronouncements like this as clueless. But, the number of people who are ready to rush off and follow them is probably much greater than the number of subscribers to this list. :) Great point! I think about this often, for example, whenever I see a blog post or something that contains totally inaccurate or misleading information. I think about all those poor people reading it that will take it to heart and run with it, only to find out later the post was, well, bad. The post about actionable lessons from eye-tracking was blogged about by Seth Godin today. With an audience the size of his, a huge chunk of people are now walking into the future armed with the belief that eye-tracking is amazingly useful and that the so-called lessons on that list are tried-and-true and should be applied regardless of the situation. So how can we communicate the need to take any given set of design guidelines with a grain of salt and apply them in context to the wider community? Tie up all the design and development bloggers of the world and force feed them canned spinach until they promise to add disclaimers to their posts that say, As always, the real answer is 'It depends.'? Just a thought. -r- *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
