Hi Liz,
I recently had a great experience with Bay Area Research Group
(http://bayarearesearchgroup.com). I only used them for recruiting
and can not speak to their facilities. They did a great job on
screening and recruiting our targeted groups.

Hi,
some week ago I attend a wonderful BayCHI session with Bill Verplank. He talked
about metaphors and actually sketched them live in front of the audience. He
also provided a framework for different computer paradigms - that's BTW the
cover of Bill Moggridge' book on Designing Interactions.
We are looking to define usability guidelines for touchscreens.
Can anyone point me to some documentation, research or guidelines
regarding the ideal parameters for touch activation force / sensitivity
/ pressure?

I read your column, and I agree with your reasoning to a point.
Good!
However, you seem to be assuming that the two columns run the length of
the page.
Yes, I was pretty much assuming that.

Thanks Dan. This is great. Another consideration is pressure to
indicate a touch. That will also get into durability of the screen
mechanics. An ELO document for their Accutouch mentions: the

Elizabeth,
I've used Fieldwork for recruiting with some success. They have a
facility in San Francisco, just up the road from Palo Alto. Their
space is geared more toward focus groups, but I'm pretty sure you
could use one of their smaller rooms for usability testing.
