Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of animated transitions on satisfaction for In-Vehicle Infotainment Systems (IVIS). Background: With the advent of autonomous vehicle technology, the autonomous driving era is fast approaching. Currently, a number of automobile manufacturing companies are providing screens linked to mobile phones in IVISs through a connected car service, and are spurring the development of a digital cockpit (expansion of the IVIS screen). The user experience with IVISs has become an increasingly important issue in the vehicle industry. However, a suitable graphical user interface (GUI) design or appropriate animated transition for IVIS screens is under development. Method: Forty Participants were asked to experience and evaluate 20 different animated transition effects (transition pattern x easing type x interval time) in 7-point Likert Scale for each condition. The post-interview was placed after the experiment. Results: The result indicated that there is significant difference in satisfaction according to the animated screen transition effect. The analysis showed that Fade pattern and Ease-Out are the best animated transition effects that can manage the delay under 1.0 millisecond and satisfy the users. Post-interview revealed that the interval time should not exceed 450ms. Conclusion: The most satisfactory animated transition effects and the animated transition effects that can manage the delay were derived. Application: The result will provide effective guidelines in the field of animated transition design of IVIS systems.
