User experience of wait - animation progress indicator

The research aim is to determine design parameters of animated progress indicators and present a user study on how they are perceived in the context of mobile application. Users’ experiences of loader animation are generally more satisfactory when more real feedback is given. Informing users of the current working state makes the process more tolerable to the user by reducing uncertainty. User’s perceived duration of time passing can be manipulated by altering a speed and acceleration of the progress animation, altering display of accuracy of status, altering perception with the application / brand design, using humour to alleviate anxiety, using text to explain the process, etc.. . This paper research questions are: (1) Does providing feedback during the wait prolong users’ tolerable waiting time in the context of shopping app? (2) How is user’s perception of time correlated to the design and speed of the progress indicator?
