Impact of Visual Cues on Multi-person Comment Recognition and User Experience in Online Design Platform

In the contemporary digital landscape, computer-supported collaborative design platforms have become essential infrastructure for distributed teams to overcome spatiotemporal constraints and enable seamless cooperation. However, the exponential growth of design iterations, feedback volume, and team scalability requirements has posed significant challenges to optimizing collaborative efficiency through rapid information processing and cognitive assimilation. This empirical investigation examines the cognitive ergonomics of interface design elements through two key variables: visual cue types and icon design paradigms, evaluating their combined effects on operational efficiency and user experience metrics in comment recognition tasks. The research findings indicate that: 1) The impact of icon dynamics and style on efficiency is task-dependent. 2) Static visual cues offer consistent guidance, aligning better with users' requirements for efficient navigation. 3) Abstract icons contribute to emotional regulation to a certain extent. These insights provide valuable guidance for optimizing the design of collaborative platforms to improve user performance and satisfaction.

Abstract

In the contemporary digital landscape, computer-supported collaborative design platforms have become essential infrastructure for distributed teams to overcome spatiotemporal constraints and enable seamless cooperation. However, the exponential growth of design iterations, feedback volume, and team scalability requirements has posed significant challenges to optimizing collaborative efficiency through rapid information processing and cognitive assimilation. This empirical investigation examines the cognitive ergonomics of interface design elements through two key variables: visual cue types and icon design paradigms, evaluating their combined effects on operational efficiency and user experience metrics in comment recognition tasks. The research findings indicate that: 1) The impact of icon dynamics and style on efficiency is task-dependent. 2) Static visual cues offer consistent guidance, aligning better with users' requirements for efficient navigation. 3) Abstract icons contribute to emotional regulation to a certain extent. These insights provide valuable guidance for optimizing the design of collaborative platforms to improve user performance and satisfaction.
