Event: Opportunity for faculty, staff, students, and the general public to tour the Usability Services Lab at the University of Minnesota. My team will be happy to show you the lab and discuss our services. Our usability consultants will be doing demonstrations of sample usability evaluation tasks, using our eye-tracking equipment.
Objective of the lab: We help project teams and researchers obtain the user perspective on the way that information is presented on a computer screen. The usability lab provides an environment in which teams are able to observe users trying out a Web site or other design. We offer usability testing and other services, utilizing screen capture, video, audio, and eye-tracking tools and equipment in the lab. We provide services both to web design teams and to academic researchers.
No sign-up is necessary. Visitors may stop by anytime during the Open House hours.
