uXlab
uXlab is a usability testing service provided by South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences. Service includes top-level technology for testing and studying user experience and usability.
We help to develop products, services and environments in a user-centered way.
Eye tracking technology
Usability testing both on a mobile device and a computer
Eye tracker examines the test person’s pupils and reacts to eye movements and objects. In this way, we can measure what subjects are interested in and how intuitively they find the information they want when performing pre-defined tasks.
Testing can be done both on a mobile device and a computer.
Wearable eye tracker for testing physical user interfaces and environments
Our eye tracking equipment also includes a wearable model similar to eyeglasses, which enables testing not only digital user interfaces, but also physical user interfaces and for example the usability of environment to be studied.
The testing is facilitated and analyzed by an experienced Xamk’s expert.
Portable testing equipment
Testing equipment is portable. It enables facilitation of usability testings anywhere.
On top of this, we have a biometric sensor that detects test person’s emotions. This can be utilized especially when testing user experience of audiovisual content.
