In Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Ubiquitous Computing, the objective of optimizing device interactions and personalizing user experiences has placed a new emphasis on accurately evaluating cognitive readiness using wearable devices.…
In today's society, our cognition is constantly influenced by information intake, attention switching, and task interruptions. This increases the difficulty of a given task, adding to the existing workload and leading to compromised…
The cognitive load can be used to assess if someone is struggling while performing a task. It can be used in many different situations such as in driving, piloting, studying, playing, working, etc. This information can help to design better…
Usability evaluation is an essential method to support the design of effective and intuitive user interfaces (UIs). However, it commonly relies on resource-intensive, expert-driven methods, which limit its accessibility, especially for…
The aim of this paper is to review some work conducted in the field of user testing that aims at specifying or clarifying the test procedures and at defining and developing tools to help conduct user tests. The topics that have been…
The search task and the system both affect the demand on cognitive resources during information search. In some situations, the demands may become too high for a person. This article has a three-fold goal. First, it presents and critiques…
Human-machine Interface (HMI) is critical for safety during automated driving, as it serves as the only media between the automated system and human users. To enable a transparent HMI, we first need to know how to evaluate it. However, most…
This paper proposes a more comprehensive evaluation methodology to measure the usability and user experience qualities of accessible synchronous computer-mediated communication applications. The methodology goes beyond current practices by…
Over the past 15 years, researchers have identified an increasing number of security mechanisms that are so unusable that the intended users either circumvent them or give up on a service rather than suffer the security. With hindsight, the…
User experience research often uses surveys and interviews, which may miss subconscious user interactions. This study explores eye-tracking and biometric feedback as tools to assess user engagement and cognitive load in digital interfaces.…
Assessing cognitive load on web search is useful for characterizing search system features and search tasks with respect to their demands on the searcher's mental effort. It is also helpful for examining how individual differences among…
Usability is a key factor in the effectiveness of recommender systems. However, the analysis of user interfaces is a time-consuming process that requires expertise. Recent advances in multimodal large language models (LLMs) offer promising…
Evaluating the user experience of a software system is an essential final step of every research. Several concepts such as flow, affective state, presences, or immersion exist to measure user experience. Typical measurement techniques…
Wearable devices, such as smartwatches and head-mounted displays, are increasingly used for prolonged tasks like remote learning and work, but sustained interaction often leads to user fatigue, reducing efficiency and engagement. This study…
Providing an equitable and inclusive user experience (UX) for people with disabilities (PWD) is a central goal of accessible design. In the specific case of Deaf users, whose hearing impairments impact language development and…
Ideas about how to increase the unconscious participation in interaction between 'a human' and 'a computer' are developed in this paper. Evidence of impact of the unconscious functioning is presented. The unconscious is characterised as…
Gaze-based virtual keyboards provide an effective interface for text entry by eye movements. The efficiency and usability of these keyboards have traditionally been evaluated with conventional text entry performance measures such as words…
Usability evaluation is crucial in human-centered design but can be costly, requiring expert time and user compensation. In this work, we developed a method for synthetic heuristic evaluation using multimodal LLMs' ability to analyze images…
Measuring brain activity with electroencephalography (EEG) is mature enough to assess mental states. Combined with existing methods, such tool can be used to strengthen the understanding of user experience. We contribute a set of methods to…
Designing 3D User Interfaces (UI) requires adequate evaluation tools to ensure good usability and user experience. While many evaluation tools are already available and widely used, existing approaches generally cannot provide continuous…
