Subject-based Usability Evaluation Methods

Develop appropriate methods for testing future services
Motivation & Project Description

• research activities that focus on subject-based (non-automatic) usability testing
• overall intent: improve subject-based measurements of usability
  • adapt and modify existing approaches from basic research
  • develop new methods for multimodal devices/services

• establish a set of evaluation tools/parameters to be used at T-Labs
• set standards within the telecommunication community (ITU etc.)

Expected Outcome:

• Validation of physiological methods: Brain-based assessment, Pupil dilation, Eye movements, Heart rate, …
• Supply of input parameters/measurements for usability prediction models
• Assessment of multimodal interaction: What are key elements of multimodal interaction? How can they be evaluated?
• Development of measuring instruments for intuitive interaction
