To address this objective, this study employed a before-and-after comparison approach. Subsequently, adult users submitted self-assessments of their experiences using the OUI and MUI. The evaluation tools included a user experience survey questionnaire and a Likert seven-point scale, including aspects such as visual confirmation, content, operation, and satisfaction. Post-experiment interviews were also conducted with family members. The MUI exhibited greater effectiveness in terms of visual confirmation, with the \u201clayout\u201d assuming a role analogous to that of \u201ctext\u201d in facilitating visual confirmation. Moreover, the operation of the MUI was found to be somewhat enjoyable. Nevertheless, no significant disparities were observed between the OUI group and the MUI group concerning content readability and most operational aspects. Furthermore, the users described their satisfaction with the MUI to be superior to that of the OUI, offering fun, convenience, and a clear appearance. Findings from my research clearly demonstrate that it is both valuable and essential to design a dedicated MUI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/fi16120478","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,23]],"date-time":"2024-12-23T09:13:38Z","timestamp":1734945218000},"page":"478","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A Comparative Study of the User Interaction Behavior and Experience in a Home-Oriented Multi-User Interface (MUI) During Family Collaborative Cooking"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Mengcai","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Chiba University, Chiba 2638522, Japan"}]},{"given":"Minglun","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Chiba University, Chiba 2638522, Japan"}]},{"given":"Kenta","family":"Ono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Chiba University, Chiba 2638522, Japan"}]},{"given":"Makoto","family":"Watanabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Chiba University, Chiba 2638522, Japan"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Stewart, J., Bederson, B.B., and Druin, A.
