Abstract

Introduction. The development of network technology is promoting the process of digitalization. The digital museum, an emerging museum display mode, is gradually highlighting its great value in the wave of digitalization. In the context of the rapid development of digital museums and mobile applications, the user interface of digital museums, as the integration point of human-computer interaction, the artistic expression of its visual design is also more important. This paper takes the digital museum application (APP) user interface design as the research direction. By optimizing the visual design of the interface, the user’s operating experience is improved, so that users can enjoy an orderly, time-saving, efficient, comfortable, and interesting interactive experience. Methods. User interface design to analyze related theories such as target-oriented design and visual hierarchy design and dig out the manifestation of user goals in the museum’s APP visual hierarchy and clarify the design content. Use qualitative and quantitative user research methods to conduct demand research for museum users and build user role models. Build user role target task model. Determine the function settings of the museum’s APP and establish an information structure. Secondly, build a low-fidelity model through the level analysis of the visual elements in the interface and use the low-fidelity prototype test to guide the museum’s APP visual level design. The interface visual level elements are integrated into the museum’s APP visual level framework and integrated with the museum’s characteristics Together, put forward the visual hierarchical design strategy of the museum APP. Results. A new model for the dissemination and display of cultural information resources by transposing the display of museum information content fusion to the works of the digital platform. The ease of use, fun, and artistic quality of the user interface of the digital museum are the keys to attracting users. Through the summary of the theory and the construction of the design strategy, we build and design a museum APP that meets the user’s experience, meets the user’s goals, and has a good visual hierarchy. The experimental results show that the largest number of people, 62.6%, wanted to learn about local culture by visiting museums. The number of people whose purpose was to travel and the study was the next highest, and they accounted for an equal share, 43.1% and 40.6%, respectively. A smaller number, 23.4%, attended museums for hobbies and interests. The number of people who visit museums for research purposes is even lower, at 11.9%. Through usability testing and user satisfaction analysis of the design model, the rationality and effectiveness of the design strategy are verified, which can provide appropriate guidance for museum app design. Conclusion. The problems encountered in the visual design and production of digital museums and the solutions were discussed, and through a comparative analysis with other digital museum visual designs, it provided theoretical and practical basis for the construction and research of digital museum visual design in the future. Our digital museum user interface design is based on user needs and solves the previous problem of users not understanding how to use the museum app effectively.
