Human Factors
UI and Usability Research Lab
Usability testing ensures that everything from physical products to digital interfaces are intuitive, efficient, and user-friendly. By evaluating factors like navigation, error rates, task completion times, and user satisfaction, it identifies pain points and areas for improvement. This essential process helps create seamless user experiences, enhancing product effectiveness and fostering positive interactions with technology.
How the Lab Works
- iMotions Lab enables efficient study setup, data collection, and analysis in a single platform to assess UI & Usability factors like cognitive load, emotional- and attention metrics.
- By integrating hardware such as Eye trackers, EDA and ECG sensors, and cameras, iMotions provides synchronized data to analyze metrics covering the entire field of occupational health and wellbeing.
- iMotions integrates with survey platforms like Qualtrics, allowing researchers to gather subjective insights on comfort and strain alongside physiological and behavioral data.
Feature Highlights
Enhance your product’s design and user experience with powerful insights into user behavior. Track visual attention, measure cognitive workload, capture real-time voice feedback, monitor muscle tension, and analyze facial responses. Identify pain points, optimize usability, and create intuitive, engaging interfaces that meet user needs seamlessly and effectively.
Track Visual Attention
Discover what captures users’ attention and how they navigate your interface by analyzing gaze patterns. Pinpoint areas of focus, overlooked elements, and navigation inefficiencies to refine your design, ensuring a more intuitive and visually engaging user experience.
Measure Cognitive Workload
Gain insights into the mental effort required to complete tasks by analyzing users’ cognitive workload. Identify points of high strain to optimize designs, reduce complexity, and improve the overall usability of your product or interface for a smoother, more efficient user experience.
Capture Voice Feedback
Understand user experiences in real-time by analyzing verbal feedback during speak-aloud sessions. Identify emotions, frustrations, and areas of confusion directly from users’ responses to refine your design and enhance usability, ensuring a more intuitive and engaging product experience.
Monitor Muscle Tension
Understand user responses by measuring muscle tension during physical product testing. Detect physical signs of stress, discomfort, or engagement to identify areas that may require adjustments, creating a more comfortable and user-friendly experience.
Capture Emotion Metrics
Understand user responses by measuring muscle tension during physical product testing. Detect physical signs of stress, discomfort, or engagement to identify areas that may require adjustments, creating a more comfortable and user-friendly experience.
