    UX Lab

    Description

    The UX Lab can be employed in situations where one wants to observe the interplay between humans and products or between humans and humans under controlled conditions. Some examples:

    • User testing of products or prototypes, e.g. software, electronic apparatuses and packages
    • Focus groups
    • Brainstorming sessions
    • Interviews
    • Research experiments with test subjects

    Equipment and resources

    The UX Lab consists of a test room and a control room that are separated by a mirror wall. That means that the people in the test room can neither see nor hear activities in the control room. There are several cameras and microphones in the test room; two of the cameras can be remotely operated from the control room. The control room also has recording equipment and picture and sound mixers.
