An Improved Design Guideline for Dyslexia-Friendly Applications Based on Eye-Tracking Data

Addressing dyslexia through digital product design presents distinct challenges and necessitates the development of tailored strategies or guidelines to facilitate children in reading accurately and efficiently. Hence, a design guideline was formulated by integrating Interaction Design (IxD) princip...

Hence, a design guideline was formulated by integrating Interaction Design (IxD) principles to enhance comprehension and minimise reading errors while using digital applications. Nonetheless, the existing design guidelines for dyslexia people have yet to be confirmed and updated to cater to the current and latest five IxD dimensions. Therefore, this paper presents an eye-tracking usability test that was conducted to identify usability issues pertaining to the design guideline by performing the test on an application called BacaDisleksia, which was developed based on the existing guideline. A usability test was conducted using the Tobii eye-tracking tool through an in-person and moderated session with six dyslexic children.
