Abstract (en)

Recent advances in the analysis of machine learning (ML) models for accurate prediction have led to new approaches for classifying and clustering variables related to user experience (UX). In this study, however, the focus is not only on modeling variables, but also on capturing the dynamics of visual attention in relation to object properties. We evaluate models such as KNN, SVM, and K-means, which emerge as the most relevant for classifying visual attention patterns. When combined with the principles of user-centered design, this approach enables the construction of user profiles based on their interaction capabilities with the interface. Furthermore, it examines how 3D object properties—such as shape, color, shading, direction of motion, and motion acceleration—influence the information conveyed to users, thus shaping their UX directly. This method aims to enhance UX design and enable more precise representation of target users. In 11 exploration tests, the three ML models analyzed obtained an accuracy of 44, 72, and 65%.

Los avances recientes en el análisis de modelos de aprendizaje automático (ML) para la predicción precisa han dado lugar a nuevos enfoques para clasificar y agrupar variables relacionadas con la experiencia de usuario (UX). En este estudio, sin embargo, el enfoque no se limita a modelar variables, sino también a capturar la dinámica de la atención visual en relación con las propiedades de los objetos. Se evalúan modelos como KNN, SVM y K-means, que se perfilan como los más relevantes para la clasificación de patrones de atención visual. Al combinarse con los principios del diseño centrado en el usuario, este enfoque permite la construcción de perfiles de usuario basados en sus capacidades de interacción con la interfaz. Además, se examina cómo las propiedades de los objetos 3D—como la forma, el color, el sombreado, la dirección del movimiento y la aceleración del movimiento—influyen en la información transmitida a los usuarios, configurando así su UX de manera directa. Este método tiene como objetivo mejorar el diseño de la UX y permitir una representación más precisa de los usuarios objetivo. En 11 pruebas exploratorias, los tres modelos de ML analizados obtuvieron precisiones del 44, 72 y 65 %.
