6pm September 17th 2009, User-lab, Birmingham Institute of Art & Design
Jerome Turner of User-lab discusses his recent experience of user-testing a GPS tour device around the streets of Birmingham. Mobile devices are increasingly used to deliver rich information and context aware experiences, so how do we test the experience with users? In applications using location-based technology such as GPS lab testing isnt possible, so how can we apply lab methods to testing in the field, and are they still valid? How do we record a user-testing session on the streets without intruding on the users experience? This presentation will hope to answer some of these questions, as well as offering them up for discussion. There will also be a chance to play with two mobile observation / recording setups from User-lab. http://brumixda.wordpress.com/2009/09/04/outside-the-box-user-testing-context-aware-mobile-technology/ http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=B4+7DX&ie=UTF8&ll=52.487981,-1.889391&spn=0.020409,0.044675&z=15&iwloc=addr&om=1
