Other collaborations included decorations for the Biltmore House on the Biltmore Estate near Asheville, North Carolina—a life-size bronze fountain sculpture of a boy with geese is a prominent example. Notable examples are the 4 allegorical muses on the façade of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art along 5th Avenue—the figures were carved from Indiana limestone to represent Sculpture, Painting, Architecture, and Music. In his book describing the 1901 Exposition, Professor Kerry S. Grant, former dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the State University of New York at Buffalo, offers this perspective: “[Bitter] fervently believed that the decorative arts should do more than merely please the senses.

A scientific method for evaluating the design of interfaces is proposed to address the unique characteristics and user needs of infrequent-contact public service interfaces. This method is significant for enhancing service efficiency and promoting the sustainable development of public services. Current interface evaluation methods are limited in scope and often fail to meet actual user needs. To address this, this study focuses on virtual museums, examining users’ aesthetic psychology and cognitive behavior in terms of layout aesthetics and visual cognitive characteristics, aiming to explore the relationship between the two. Interface layout aesthetic values and user visual cognitive measurements were obtained by using computational aesthetics methods and eye-tracking experiments. These served as input data for a new model. An improved gray H-convex correlation model utilizing the ICRITIC method is proposed to examine the mapping relationship between interface layout aesthetics and visual cognitive features. The results demonstrate that our new model achieves over 90% accuracy, outperforming existing models. For virtual museum interfaces, symmetry and dominance significantly influence user visual cognition, with the most notable correlations found between density and gaze shift frequency, simplicity and mean pupil diameter, and order and gaze shift frequency. Additionally, fixation duration, fixation count, and mean pupil diameter were inversely correlated with interface layout aesthetics, whereas gaze shift frequency and gaze time percentage were positively correlated.

The development of scientifically rigorous evaluation methods is essential to overcome three persistent challenges in public navigation interfaces: inadequate guidance, low usability, and suboptimal user experience. Focusing on intelligent medical guidance systems, this study establishes a dual-dimensional analytical framework encompassing layout aesthetics (spatial composition principles) and visual cognition (information processing patterns). We propose an enhanced grey H-convex correlation model integrating Bayesian Best Worst Method (BBWM) and modified CRITIC with reference point (M-CRITIC-RP) to address weight determination limitations in existing models. Our experimental analysis reveals two key findings: First, the synergistic integration of layout aesthetics (e.g., visual hierarchy balance) and visual cognition characteristics (e.g., attention distribution patterns) significantly improves interface usability for medical service navigation. Second, the proposed BBWM-M-CRITIC-RP hybrid model demonstrates superior performance in quantifying aesthetic-cognition relationships, achieving 88% prediction accuracy compared to conventional methods. In a word, our research provides a new theoretical method for traditional visual display design and a new evaluation criterion for interface design, aiming at improving the user experience.

What a piece of work is Man! But not in some relentlessly dull anatomy books of the nineteenth century, when ‘style’ was falling out of fashion. Or perhaps Henry Gray thought the wonders of the body spoke for themselves.
