Comparative Study of Synchronous Remote and Traditional In-Lab Usability Evaluation Methods
Traditional in lab usability evaluation has been used as the 'standard' evaluation method for evaluating and improving usability of software user interfaces (Andre, Williges, & Hartson, 2000). However, traditional in lab evaluation has its drawbacks such as availability of representative end users, …

AR you trained yet? Evaluating multidimensional spatial interfaces in training environments
… presented in this thesis investigates the usability of augmented reality (AR) spatial interfaces for knowledge-intensive training environments, focusing on head-mounted display (HMD) systems. The research addresses the growing adoption of AR in professional training and the need for …

Determining the Effectiveness of the Usability Problem Inspector: A Theory-Based Model and Tool for Finding Usability Problems
The need for cost-effective usability evaluation has led to the development of methodologies to support the usability practitioner in finding usability problems during formative evaluation. Even though various methods exist for performing usability evaluation, practitioners seldom have the …

A Performance Survey of Text-Based Sentiment Analysis Methods for Automating Usability Evaluations
<p>Usability testing, or user experience (UX) testing, is increasingly recognized as an important part of the user interface design process. However, evaluating usability tests can be expensive in terms of time and resources and can lack consistency between human evaluators. This makes automation …

A Taxonomy of Usability Characteristics in Virtual Environments
… research in both virtual environments (VEs) and usability, the exciting new technology of VEs has not yet been closely coupled with the important characteristic of usability --- a necessary coupling if VEs are to reach their full potential. Although numerous methods exist for usability evaluation …

Beyond problem identification: valuing methods in a ‘system usability practice’
Historically, usability evaluation methods (UEMs) have been evaluated on their capability for problem identification. However, the relevance of this approach has been questioned for applied usability work. To investigate alternative explanations of what is important for method use a grounded theory …

Investigating the Effectiveness of Applying the Critical Incident Technique to Remote Usability Evaluation
Remote usability evaluation is a usability evaluation method (UEM) where the experimenter, performing observation and analysis, is separated in space and/or time from the user. There are several approaches by which to implement remote evaluation, limited only by the availability of supporting …

Virtual Environment Usability Assessment Methods Based on a Framework of Usability Characteristics
Developing economical yet effective methods of incorporating usability engineering as an integral part of software engineering is a primary focus of human-computer interaction (HCI) research. However, much HCI research has focused primarily on inspecting and evaluating applications supporting …

Usability Problem Description and the Evaluator Effect in Usability Testing
Previous usability evaluation method (UEM) comparison studies have noted an evaluator effect on problem detection in heuristic evaluation, with evaluators differing in problems found and problem severity judgments. There have been few studies of the evaluator effect in usability testing (UT), …
