Ideas for Testing/Evaluation?

We didn't get time to cover this today, so I'm posting here. If anyone has any ideas of how we should test our prototype, add them to the comments. Here's a few, let me know what you think:

  • Create a HTML/Powerpoint mockup of the interface, and perform either a cooperative or heuristic evaluation using the personas and/or real people.
  • In terms of the mockup, we could either ask them to play with it or give them tasks based on scenarios we have come up with.
  • Use my inferior eyesight skills to play a user who has difficulty seeing the interface, and perform a cooperative/heuristic evalution of the interface.
  • For the voice recognition part, ask the personas/real people to come up with what they would say if we asked them to tell the device to do something, and compare the results.
  • Ask someone from another team to pose as a HCI expert and evaluate our design.
  • Perform more questionnaires concentrating on aspects such as the aesthetics of the product.
  • Evaluate parts of the system ourselves according to literature and/or design principles already out there.
