These studies show that the facial illustrations and caricatures generated using our techniques are as effective as photographs in recognition tasks.

We evaluate the effectiveness of the resulting images through psychophysical studies to assess accuracy and speed in both recognition and learning tasks. In addition an interactive technique is demonstrated for deforming these black-and-white facial illustrations to create caricatures which highlight and exaggerate representative facial features. We present a method for creating black-and-white illustrations from photographs of human faces. This study concludes with suggestions for future research and design practices for digital photo frame developers. The results of the statistical analysis showed that exhaustive but not burdensome display, habitually perceivable message structure, and slightly magnified size for both the display and icons were easily accepted and preferred more by the participants. Twenty-four participants evaluated 11 different paper prototypes of digital photo frames generated from the combination of 3 design elements: size of icon, size of screen and of icons. This study set out to examine older users’ performances and preferences for the menu design of digital photo frames. With the rapid increase in the number of senior citizens and gentrification of society, attention should be paid to the development of more friendly and user-centered designs of digital devices to improve older users’ experience. The advancement of image technology not only has escalated the development of digital camera devices but has also changed the way people view and store photos.
