Abstract
Design questions of home pages are examined by numerous visual search experiments as well. However, in the majority of experiments only one target object has to be searched. On web pages and on 2D and 3D scenes often more objects, more information have to be discovered. Spatial placement of objects has influential role on reaction times, how soon an object will be found. In our work more objects had to be found on home pages and on skill-improving game programs by normal users and users with mild intellectual disabilities. We investigated the time and the sequence of finding targets in function of their location on the screen and their properties (e.g. size). We worked out a method for analysing navigation routes and discovering differences between the target groups, which can be used in further investigations as well.
