초록

본 연구에서는 관람 전 사용자 평가를 통해 박물관 모바일 애플리케이션의 정보서비스에 대한 만족도를 비교하고, 사용성과 기능적 특성간의 상관관계를 검증했다. 빌바오 구겐하임과 미국자연사박물관 애플리케이션의 경우, 정보서비스와 기능적 특성에 대한 만족도, 관람 동기와 관람시 애플리케이션 사용에 대해 반응이 모두 높게 나타났다. 이는 사용자의 관심과 욕구를 반영될 수 있도록 모바일 애플리케이션이 직관적으로 설계 및 디자인되고, 감성적 인터페이스를 지향할 때 사용성이 상승된다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 사용성과 기능적 특성과의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 비간섭적 특성과 개인화적 특성이 다른 기능적 특성에 비해 좀 더 유의미한 상관관계에 놓여 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 도출된 하나의 중요한 시사점은 모바일 해석 매체의 사용성은 엔터테인먼트적인 요소나 기술적 적용보다는 콘텐츠와 사용자 사이에서 발생하는 인터랙션과 사용자의 관심과 욕구가 반영될 수 있는 기능적 특성에 따라 좌우 된다는 것이다.

This research validates the correlation between usability and functional attributes whilst comparing the degree of satisfaction of information framework used in museum mobile apps via usability evaluation in pre-visit setting. In cases of Bilbao Guggenheim and American Natural History Museum apps, the degree of satisfaction measured for information service, functional attributes, motivation for actual museum visit and during-visit usability of the apps were all highly evaluated. Such evaluation data indicates the increased usability of apps when mobile applications take user-friendly design that intuitively reflect users' interests and needs. After thorough analysis of correlation between usability and fictional attributes, data pointed to more meaning relationships existed in non-intrusiveness and personalization than other functional attributes. In conclusion, we were able to acknowledge the usability of museum mobile apps depends upon the interaction between content and functional attributes rather than entertainment factor and technology.
