Remote Usability Evaluation Tool
… of their time and resources on user interface evaluation in traditional usability laboratories. Since the network itself and the remote work setting have become parts of usage patterns, evaluators do not have unlimited access to representative users for user interface evaluation. Reproducing …

The User-Reported Critical Incident Method for Remote Usability Evaluation
Much traditional user interface evaluation is conducted in usability laboratories, where a small number of selected users is directly observed by trained evaluators. However, as the network itself and the remote work setting have become intrinsic parts of usage patterns, evaluators often have …

Developing Heuristic Evaluation Methods for Large Screen Information Exhibits Based on Critical Parameters
Evaluation is the key to effective interface design. It becomes even more important when the interfaces are for cutting edge technology, in application areas that are new and with little prior design knowledge. Knowing how to evaluate new interfaces can decrease development effort and increase the …

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 …

A comparative analysis of web-based GIS applications using usability metrics
… the maps. Hence, it is essential to evaluate the usability of WGIS applications. Usability is an important factor in ensuring the development of quality, usable software products. On the other hand, there are a number of standards and models in the literature, each of which describes usability in …

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, …

An analytical inspection framework for evaluating the search tactics and user profiles supported by information seeking interfaces
… of this research has been to develop a usability evaluation method, in the form of a lightweight analytical inspection framework, that can assess both search designs and fully implemented systems. The framework, called Sii, provides three types of analyses: 1) an analysis of the amount …

Usability Engineering Applied to an Electromagnetic Modeling Tool
… the 2D magnetotellurics problem. Through the evaluation of this interface, feedback was collected from a usability specialist and a group of geophysics graduate students to study the steps users take to work through the 2D forward-modeling problem, and to analyze usability errors encountered …

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), …

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 Usability Problem Inspection Tool: Development and Formative Evaluation
Usability inspection methods of user interaction designs have gained importance as an alternative to traditional laboratory-based testing methods because of their cost-effectiveness. However, methods like the heuristic evaluation are ad-hoc, lacking a theoretical foundation. Other, more formal …

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 …

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 …
