Spotless Interactive make flexible use of the Mobile Device Camera

A team at Spotless Interactive led by Ben Hogan have been making good use of our Mobile Device Camera (MDC) for;

• Mobile user testing
• Mobile application evaluations
• User experience training courses

Ben reviews the MDC;

'The device is very versatile and lenses can be 'swapped out' to give you different levels of zoom. The device is flexible and means the end user can move around during a session. We would recommend the MDC to anyone doing a mobile user-testing project.'

The Observer XT plays a vital role in the BEHAVE study.

Researchers led by Prof. Gerry Humphris at the University of St. Andrews have been using The Observer XT on the BEHAVE project. The study is investigating the interactive behaviours between dental nurses and nursery-school children during 'Childsmile' flouride varnish application.

Gerry summarises the advantages of using The Observer XT;

'The Observer XT proved highly capable of managing a complicated coding scheme. Initial pilot data already indicates that some nurse behaviours are more closely correlated with the delivery outcome than others. The coder reliability function has allowed us to test coding consistency across time and between users. We next plan to make use of the built-in lag-sequential analysis to investigate correlations further.'

Games Usability Lab. Launch

The new MMU Usability Lab. was launched to a mixture of academic and business clients on the 24th November 2010. Tracksys supported the event with a presentation about what the lab. can deliver. Further open evenings are planned for 2011.
