We wanted to experiment with the use of the new Mobile Testing Accessory<\/strong> for the analysis of smartphone Apps. The choice of the App to be tested was quite obvious\u2026. For a description of the Tobii Pro Nano and the Mobile Testing Accessory, we refer you to these sections of our site.<\/p>\n TOBII PRO NANO<\/a><\/strong> The Pro Nano is a tracker already known in the UX testing field, while the Mobile Testing Accessory is instead a novelty. It is a tool designed to test the interfaces of mobile devices.<\/strong> Through the connection of the Eye tracker device to the laptop and, simultaneously, thanks to the mobile phone screen mirroring functionality, it is possible to see in real time what the person is looking at within the interface being tested and see their eye movements (and their visual and attentional strategies!) superimposed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> A series of tasks were chosen, useful for guiding the person and simultaneously verifying if the App’s functionalities were understood simply and quickly. We conducted the tests applying the Thinking Aloud<\/a><\/strong> technique.<\/p>\n In particular, the tasks concerned 3 steps:<\/p>\n The App proved to be simple and immediately understandable. Users had no problem navigating within the interface. All calls to action were recognized and understood, as were the various copies present, which did not raise any doubt.
Recently, the “Immuni<\/a><\/strong>” App was released, which aims to track interactions between people to map and manage any COVID-19 infections<\/strong>.
There has been a lot of talk about it, from various points of view. In this short article, we approach the subject exclusively as usability and User Experience researchers.
Our team has in fact asked some volunteers to participate in a test, using an Eye Tracking device (Tobii Pro Nano) and the new Mobile Testing Accessory.<\/p>\n<\/div>Setting<\/h3><\/div>
