Abstract

This study contains the results obtained after two and a half years of developing a knitting customization website using a knitting machine. Recently in the fashion world, various services using customization are being provided, and devices that users can design directly using knitting machines are being developed. However the existing website for knitting machine does not provide a certain usability or layout, so it is difficult for users to use open source and custom design. Therefore, this study was conducted for the purpose of developing a website that provides ease of use to users who will use the knitting customizing service using a knitting machine. As a research method, the first usability evaluation was conducted by synthesizing the studies conducted for the knit customization website development work. As a result of the study, found the problems of the initial custom screen and the initial output screen were found, and convenience, intuition, and readability were improved. Secondary usability evaluation was conducted on the modified website and it was confirmed that the problem was corrected. Through the website finally derived from this study, it is expected that the new platform in the domestic knit market will be popularized and the usability of the custom website will be improved.

본 연구는 니팅머신을 이용한 니트 커스터마이징 웹 사이트 개발 작업을 2년 반 동안 실시한 후 도출된 결과물을 담고 있다. 최근 패션계에서는 커스터마이징을 활용한 다양한 서비스를 제공하고 있으며, 니트 또한 니팅머신을 활용하여 사용자가 직접 디자인할 수 있는 기기가 개발되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 니팅머신용 웹 사이트는 일정한 사용성이나 레이아웃이 제공되지 않아 사용자가 오픈소스와 커스터마이징 디자인을 이용하는 것에 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 니팅머신을 이용하여 니트 커스터마이징 서비스를 이용하게 될 사용자에게 사용편의성을 제공하는 웹 사이트 개발을 목적으로 진행되었다. 연구 방법으로는 니트 커스터마이징 웹 사이트 개발 작업을 위해 진행된 연구들을 종합하여 1차 사용성 평가를 진행하였다. 연구 결과 초기 커스텀 화면과 초기 출력 화면의 문제점을 찾았으며, 편의성, 직관성, 가독성 부분을 개선하였다. 수정된 웹사이트를 대상으로 2차 사용성 평가를 진행하여 문제점이 보완된 것을 확인 하였다. 본 연구에서 최종적으로 도출된 웹 사이트를 통해 국내 니트 시장의 새로운 플랫폼의 대중화와 커스터마이징 웹사이트의 사용성 향상을 기대한다.
