A Research On Interaction Design Of Wearable Devices Based On Peripheral Interaction Theory

Peripheral interaction theory is proposed in the context of the Internet of Things era characterized by multiple devices serving the same person.Multiple devices grab users'scarce attention resources and cause interference to users,which further affects the efficiency of users' information acquisition.Peripheral interaction theory uses people's attention at the periphery to obtain information.Introducing the theory into the interaction design of wearable devices can avoid unnecessary occupation of user's attention resources by wearable devices during the interaction process,thereby improving the user experience of wearable devices.The thesis firstly analyzes the relationship between peripheral interaction and attention resources through the study of peripheral interaction theory and its theoretical models.The basic characteristics of human attention resources in a biological sense and the key features of peripheral interaction are summarized.Then combined with case analysis,the wearable device's interaction mode is discussed and summarized from the wearable device's interaction types and interaction characteristics.Through the introduction of peripheral interaction theory,the user's attention changes in the wearable device interaction process are explored and peripheral interactions in wearable devices are further analyzed.On the basis of the wearable device interaction mode,four factors that affect the user's attention resource occupancy during the interaction process between the user and the wearable device are explored.Further,the four factors are combined to construct the wearable device interaction design model under peripheral interaction.The relationship between the factors in the model are further explained.Finally,based on the analysis of key influencing factors and design model,the interaction design strategies of wearable devices under peripheral interaction are summarized from four levels of demand,perception,behavior and environment.
