User Studies Planning Kick Off

To kick off the organisation of the user studies, a list of required items has been created and missing items have been identified.

Required days for the user studies are about 4-5 as the booking meetings with all prefered test persons will probably not be all possible on the same day.
For the interaction with the prototype, a laptop is required. To display graphs and visual feedback when required a second screen and a second laptop would be useful.
To play back sound, speakers are needed. Recording the studies visually, a camera needs to be installed and ways to record audio properly will need to be in place. Obviously, a room to hold those studies is required as well.

Meeting rooms are available for booking inside the office space. The bookings still have to be done. A personal laptop can be used for the user studies, a second one however will have to be organized. A large screen is available in every meeting room. For audio play back, speaker should be acquired and headphones should not be used, to later be able to easily evaluate the audio and video material. An audio recording device is available (Zoom H4), a video camera still has to be borrowed.

Here is the resulting list. Red marked items are not available yet.

• 4-5 days time
• 1st Laptop for interaction
• 2nd Laptop and Monitor for graphs
• Audio Speakers
• Video Camera
• Audio Recorder
• Meeting Room
