The aim of this article is to discuss how user experience (UX) evaluation can benefit from the use virtual reality (VR).UX usually evaluated in laboratory settings. However, considering that UX occurs as a consequence interaction between product, user, and context use, assessment more ecological test setting. VR provides means develop realistic-looking environments with advantage allowing greater control experimental conditions while granting good validity.The methods used evaluate UX, well...

Technologically successful products are identified by their ease of use. Tullis and Albert [9] pointed out that, the more technologically product is, less usable it will be perceived. For designers, many devices have been developed in order to improve human-computer interaction (HCI), such as drawing tablets. Recently, a new device was launched market promising "touch-free" based on gestural interface called "Leap Motion". This innovative waives common inputs mouse keyboard, represents an...

This article describes a user-centred design method in which the ‘voice of disabled customer’ can be translated into product requirements form that designers and manufacturers use. Wheelchairs were chosen as for study. The emerged from surveys wheelchair designers, prescribers (physiotherapists occupational therapists), rehabilitation engineers, users carers on their views design, assessment, prescription products people comprises set 11 phases including Preliminary Strategic Planning,...

Abstract Identifying users’ experience when using products is one of the major challenges for design. Analyzing psychophysiological reactions to an biofeedback can produce more reliable results than subjective evaluations, such as structured interviews and questionnaires. Two case studies were conducted identify emotions users actually felt check whether there some correspondence with what they reported after two computational systems. The first system investigated during training on a...

Presence is a concept that widely used in academic research studies and involves human interaction Virtual Reality (VR). It considered fundamental to any experience virtual environments. In order explore the issues about this rigorously, as researchers, we need start distinguishing VR system from other digital systems also consider psychological aspect forms part of itself. Focused on Cultural Psychology perspective, paper discusses concepts Dialogical Self Embodiment so think sense presence...
