The present input equipment still has a great deal of inconvenience in operation, so this research will use the gesture movement to replace the traditional input type of the computer, and regard the network as the main application field. Through the investigation of the frequency of utilization of icon on network browser and presentation on the behavior in network, build up a set of gesture suitable for web browsing.This research focus on the topic, if different morphological features of gestures would have apparent diversity on usability between different cognitive styles of participants. Four characteristics of gesture movements: hand-shape, direction, the relative position of the body and imitative actions, build the basis constructed for the main gesture with noun and verb correlating with function of the network in ASL (American Sign Language) existing sign language vocabulary. The procedure in this research, improved from icon development procedure of ISO, is the main process to develop noun gestures and verb gestures. The participants will be divided into two kinds of cognitive styles, field independence and field dependence, by HFT (Hidden Figure Test) to evaluate the usability of noun gestures and verb gestures.The results show that there were apparent diversity in participants with different cognitive styles on response time test of two different group gesture by Paired samples T-test. There were apparent diversity in participants with field independence cognitive style on response time test of two different group gestures. Analyzing thirty gestures by cluster analysis on subjective survey and found that the most favorite gestures was mainly group by the characters with imitating action and hand shape. Finally, There were apparent diversity in participants with different cognitive styles on favorite gestures with character of imitating action by One-ay ANOVA.
