Abstract

The aim of this paper is to describe a case of washing machine panel design. In this case card sorting and cluster analysis were applied to get target users' mental models of the information architectures about the washing machine panels, the differences among information architectures of existing panels were also quantitatively evaluated. Besides, the differences between users' mental models and existing washing machines regarding the information architectures were identified. The methodology and results in this paper contribute to the design of washing machine panels.
