Resumo

Problemas de interação com produtos de uso cotidiano permitem compreender que a usabilidade (US) de um produto envolve aspectos estéticos e emocionais. Este estudo propôs avaliar dois diferentes designs de espremadores de frutas cítricas, visando identificar se as diferentes funcionalidades e estética de um produto interferem na US. Os testes laboratoriais se destacaram pela aplicação do SUS (System Usability Scale) e do DS (Diferencial Semântico). Os resultados apontam similaridades em relação à eficácia e eficiência. Entretanto, outras observações indicam problemas de interação, corroborados quanto à satisfação de uso (SUS e DS). Assim, estudos de US devem considerar não apenas os aspectos funcionais, mas também os estéticos e emocionais.
Palavras-chave:

Abstract

Interaction problems with everyday products allow us to understand that a product's usability (US) involves aesthetic and emotional aspects. This study evaluated two different juice squeezer designs to identify whether a product's different functionalities and aesthetics interfere with the US. The laboratory tests were characterized by the application of the System Usability Scale (SUS) and the Semantic Differential (SD). The results show similarities in terms of effectiveness and efficiency. However, other observations indicate interaction problems, corroborated regarding user satisfaction (SUS and DS). Thus, US studies should consider not only functional aspects, but also aesthetic and emotional ones.
Keywords:
