スライド概要
Many user interfaces on the Web are confusing for users to operate or make users more prone to mistakes, and we call such a user interface a "BADUI" (BAD User Interface). To solve these problems, we proposed WePatch, a system enables users to improve BADUIs on the Web by attaching improvement functions virtually. We implemented a prototype WePatch system as a browser extension that had functions for correcting inputted text automatically, and adding annotations and so on. Also, we experimentally compared the usability of BADUIs before and after being qualitatively improved by WePatch. The results revealed that WePatch considerably improved the usability of BADUIs.

Background • • Many user interfaces on the web are difficult to use for users BADUI (=Bad User Interface) are not made easier, and users have to keep using a difficult-to-use UIs due to developer
Purpose of Study To solve BADUI problems on the Web • Propose a method that enables ordinary users to improve BADUIs by attaching improvement functions • Implement a prototype system and clarify its usefulness and characteristics
Proposed Method Enable ordinary users to improve BADUIs on the web Filter Filter Filter Attention! Improvement functions • Auto-conversion filter • Display example • Web advisory sticker • Balloon description • Information correction

Experiment Result 10 participants evaluated 16 BADUI cases from -2 to 2.
Experiment Result 10 participants evaluated 16 BADUI cases from -2 to 2. The average scores gets 1.08 points higher than before WePatch improves BADUIs effectively
Summary • • Proposed a method and implemented WePatch that enables ordinary users to repair BADUIs WePatch improved BADUIs effectively Future work • • Implement a function for evaluating contributor’s credibility Propose Automatic improvement method for BADUIs by collecting information improving procedures
