This kind of "Chrysanthemum" loading animation will make people think for a long time-animation, design-IT information

IT information news on September 3, a recent study showed that when people are watching TV or brush page, loading animation that adapts to poor network, has the potential to affect the feelings of people waiting. For example, we often ring-shaped Chrysanthemum-shaped loading animation, when we wait for video or the loading of a page and see the animation, may make us wait longer than the actual time is even more long-time.

This conclusion comes from a study by the Hong Kong University of science and technology and the University of Nevada, said in the study, short wait about five seconds, the designer spent thinking of the loading animation, but may make people wait longer.

In such short time of waiting for process in the, dang people see screen Shang appeared has very common while usually boring of loaded animation Shi, may first reflect is to, is long, even only short of 5 seconds around of time, may is because such of loaded animation too had common has, see it on will Lenovo up past countless times of waiting for time, to with to user a psychological illusion, seems waiting for of time very long.

Actually reveals is a designer for details of stress and psychological grasp of the users. When people feel confused in the uncertain, the best solution is to provide information, such as the designer loads the Web page design from vague to clear process content for a Web page, would be a lot better. Similar studies have, according to a study of the human-computer interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, provide progress feedback a common means of information processing in a computer is a progress bar, and compared to the average speed of progress bar, slow down rendering and the progress bar will let users move from right to left the wait time is even shorter. Because of the way it draws the user's attention while glossing over the wait time.

这种“小菊花”式加载动画，会让人觉得等了很久 - 动画,设计 - IT资讯

IT资讯讯 9月3日消息，最近一项研究表明，当人们在看电视或者刷网页时，遇到网络不佳而出现的加载动画，有可能影响到人们等待过程的感受。例如我们常见的环形菊花状的加载动动画，当我们在等待视频或页面加载的时候看到这个动画，可能会让我们觉得等待的时间比实际的用时更加长久。

这一结论出自香港科技大学和内华达大学的一项研究，研究中表示，在五秒左右的短时等待中，那些设计师花尽心思的加载动画，反而可能让人觉得等待时间更长。

在这样短时间的等待过程中，当人们看到屏幕上出现了非常常见同时平常无趣的加载动画时，可能第一反映就是要等很久，即便只有短短的5秒左右的时间，可能是因为这样的加载动画太过常见了，看到它就会联想起以往无数次的等待时间，从而带给用户一种心理错觉，好像等待的时间非常漫长。

其实这透露出的是一个设计师对细节的讲究和对用户心理的把握。当人们在不确定中感到迷惑时，最好的解决办法就是提供信息，例如设计师将网页加载的过程设计为网页内容逐渐从模糊到清晰的过程，都会好很多。类似的研究还有，卡内基梅隆大学人机交互研究所的一项研究显示，在电脑上提供信息处理进度反馈的常用手段是进度条，而相比起速度平均的进度条，减速式的呈现方式和从右向左移动的进度条都会让用户觉得等待时间更短。因为这样的方式通过吸引用户的注意力而掩饰了等待的时间。
