Animation in User Interfaces Designed for Decision Support Systems: The Effects of Image Abstraction, Transition, and Interactivity on Decision Quality
Including animation in the design of user interfaces is a natural extension of graphical user interfaces. Moreover, animation seems particularly well suited for representing many real-world situations, and the conventional wisdom is that animation makes the user interface easier to use, more enjoyable, pleasurable, and understandable (Baecker & Small, 1990; Chang & Ungar, 1993; Robertson, Card, & Mackinlay, 1993; SIGGRAPH 94, 1994). Despite this evidence, very little is known about the efficacy of animation for decision support. In fact, the efficacy of animation in user interfaces ...
