User experience evaluation in the wild
Francis Jambon, Brigitte Meillon · 2009
This article details experience feedback resulting from a user experience study in the wild (i.e. in-situ). The system under test was a mobile device for skiers, which aimed at improving their users' experience. The skiers were equipped with a mini-camera, an accelerometer and a geo-localization system. Thanks to a smartphone, they could replay, on trails, theirs best performances (video, maximum speed, ...). The article focuses both on the methodological and the technological issues encountered during these experimentations, and proposes recommendations.
