Past research in HCI has generated a number of procedures for assessing the usability of interacting systems. In these procedures there is a tendency to omit characteristics of the users, aspects of the context and peculiarities of the tasks. Building a cohesive model that incorporates these features is not obvious. A…

Usability is often defined as the ability of a system to carry out specific tasks by specific users in a specific context. Usability evaluation involves testing the system for its expected usability. Usability testing is performed in natural environment (field) or artificial environment (laboratory). The result of…

Background Design processes such as human-centered design, which involve the end user throughout the product development and testing process, can be crucial in ensuring that the product meets the needs and capabilities of the user, particularly in terms of safety and user experience. The structured and iterative nature…

According to Brooke [3] "Usability does not exist in any absolute sense; it can only be defined with reference to particular contexts." That is, one cannot speak of usability without specifying what that particular usability is characterized by. Driven by the feedback of a reviewer at an international conference, I…

People with severe disabilities may have difficulties when interacting with their home devices due to the limitations inherent to their disability. Simple home activities may even be impossible for this group of people. Although much work has been devoted to proposing new assistive technologies to improve the lives of…

- Whenever an architect or a team of architects begins an architectural design, there are certain goals set to achieve. There are many factors involved in setting up goals for the architecture design such as type of the project, end user perspective, functional and nonfunctional requirements and so on. This paper…

Explicit emphasis on teaching science process skills leads to both gains in the skills themselves and, strikingly, deeper understanding of content. Here, we created and tested a series of online, interactive tutorials with the goal of helping undergraduate students develop science process skills. We designed the…

Connected health devices are generally designed for unsupervised use, by non-healthcare professionals, facilitating independent control of the individuals own healthcare. Older adults are major users of such devices and are a population significantly increasing in size. This group presents challenges due to the wide…

Recent years have seen a sharp increase in the use of open source projects by common novice users; Open Source Software (OSS) is thus no longer a reserved arena for software developers and computer gurus. Although user-centered designs are gaining popularity in OSS, usability is still not considered as one of the prime…

Comprehensive Assessment of Usability for Learning Technologies (CAUSLT) Scale Authors: ['Jie Lu' 'Matthew Schmidt' 'Jinnie Shin'] Traditionally rooted in the domain of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), usability has been primarily associated with the technological performance of a system's user interface. However, as…

Software quality in use comprises quality from the user's perspective. It has gained its importance in e-government applica-tions, mobile-based applications, embedded systems, and even business process development. Users' decisions on software acquisitions are often ad hoc or based on preference due to difficulty in…

The manufacturing process of batteries can be complex and time-consuming. We introduce a new version of the digital twin of our lithium ion battery pilot line, Simubat 4.0 Gen-2, based on a new combination of Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality. This digital twin is designed to deliver training on the lithium-ion battery…

The lack of user-centered design principles in the current landscape of commonly-used bioinformatics software tools poses challenges for novice genomics researchers (NGRs) entering the genomics ecosystem. Comparing the usability of one analysis software to that of another is a non-trivial task and requires evaluation…

Although a scientific web application that is intuitive can help scientists utilize data more easily and advance their research, there is little guidance on how to design such an application in the academic literature. We discuss how we designed an intuitive application for bench scientists working in drug discovery…

The analysis of eye-movements is a non-invasive, reliable and fast method to detect and quantify brain (dys-)functions. Here, we investigated the performance of two novel eye-trackers: the Thomas-Oculus-Motus-research mobile (TOM-rm) and the TOM-research stationary (TOM-rs) and compared it with the performance of a…

The negative effect of fragmentation is one of the main concerns in the study of biodiversity loss in landscape ecology. The use of the matrix has been considered an important factor because it can change the relationship of a population with the configuration of the landscape. A systematic way to assess the effect of…
