Research Abstract

It is important to consider the size variation of user's hands for assessing usability of hand-held tools because the usability depends on hand sizes. This assessment requires a lot of time and costs for testers whose hands are different in size respectively. It is impossible for designers to feel the tester's sensation which is induced by touching and operating the tools, which means the designers cannot improve the usability based on the tester's feeling. The study investigates experiencing differently sized hands to provide the feeling from assessment with variously sized hands to the designers. The main finding is the effective way to change hand sizes to experience.
