Hello IxDA'rs We are looking to purchase equipment for usability testing on mobile devices. I have done my research and there are 3 methods for this type of testing:
- Fixed device positioning: this setup is that the mobile device sits on a fix location with a webcam attached to the device via a metal neck or other type of support. The webcam points to the mobile device, recording the screen and the user's interaction with the device. A separate video camera on a fix location records the user's facial expressions and broad interaction. http://www.gotomobile.com/archives/diy-gotomobiles-mobile-cam - Movable positioning: A dual camera is attached to the mobile device. One camera records the screen and user interaction with the mobile, and the second camera records the facial expression as well as the positioning of the device in relation to the user. http://www.littlespringsdesign.com/analysis/utest/ - VNC server on Mobile phone: the VNC server software has to be installed on the mobile device. The VNC server will share the mobile's screen to a pc. An external video camera on a fix location records the facial expressions of the user. Have you purchased these type of equipment? Have you purchased a different type of equipment for these test? Any recommendation will be helpful.
