UEQ Evaluation of "Olomouc's Changes over Time" Map
Description
The aim of this evaluation was to assess the usability and overall user experience of the application using standardized UEQ measures and eye-tracking methods, and to refine the application based on the identified strengths and weaknesses. User experience was assessed using the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ), a standardized 26-item semantic differential instrument measuring six dimensions: Attractiveness, Perspicuity, Efficiency, Dependability, Stimulation, and Novelty. In addition to scale-level scores, two aggregated dimensions were calculated: pragmatic quality (goal-oriented usability) and hedonic quality (engagement and innovation). The dataset shows a very positive overall user experience, with all six scales falling into the excellent category when compared to the official UEQ benchmark database (21,175 respondents, 468 studies). The highest-rated dimension was Perspicuity (M = 2.43), followed by Attractiveness (M = 2.35), Efficiency (M = 2.30), and Stimulation (M = 2.08). Dependability (M = 1.98) and Novelty (M = 1.75) were also clearly above neutral. Aggregated scores indicated strong pragmatic quality (M = 2.23) and positive hedonic quality (M = 1.92), placing the evaluated system within approximately the top 10% of products in the benchmark dataset. Behavioral intention data further supported these findings, with all participants indicating willingness to use the application again.
