User Testing 2
Our User Testing 2 (UT2) took place on 5 November from 12pm to 6pm.
Objectives
- Verify if users can react to AlterSense without prompting
- Test the intuitiveness of our user interface (photo taking) and hand gestures
- Gather user opinion about using AlterSense in a mall setting
- Test the accuracy of gender recognition in a mall setting
Location
- Level 4 of new extension between Plaza Singapura and Dhoby Ghaut
Unlike our previous user testing UT1, there would not be any demarcation marking the recommended standing position for shopper (about 4 metres away from the Kinect sensor) on the floor. AlterSense has been improved to use real world values; hence it does not matter where the shopper stands as long as the shopper’s whole figure is captured by Kinect.
Testers
- General public
- We had a total of 53 testers - 29 females and 24 males.
Execution Flow
1. Ask shopper if they have a smartphone and to download Microsoft Tag if they have one. If they are unwilling to download, we lend them our phones
2. Let user use AlterSense by himself/herself
3. Observe user if he/she has any difficulties responding to AlterSense
4. Measure the time taken for user to raise his/her right hand and to scan the Microsoft tag
5. Let user complete a survey form
Qualitative metric
Facilitators will be observing for errors or problems that the testers faced. Upon completion of all the tasks, the tester will be presented a survey form in which he/she will be asked about their opinion and satisfaction level of the application.
Quantitative metric
- Time taken for shopper to raise both hands
- Time taken to choose a hat
- Time taken to raise right hand
- No. of failed detections of raising of both hands
- No. of failed detections of choosing a hat
- No. of failed detections of raising his/her right hand
- Whether male shoppers had picked the top hat and female shoppers had pick the ladies’ hat
- Whether shopper has been able to complete the whole flow (i.e. shopper did not leave halfway)
- Response time to scan the Microsoft Tag
- No. of failed attempts to scan the Microsoft Tag
