Outline of Final Research Achievements

Current techniques for usability evaluation are subjective, and depending on the skill of an evaluator. To overcome these limitations, we developed an objective usability evaluation method based on the video-recorded fingertip movements of a user during the operation of an interface. Specifically, users’ fingertip movements are first video recorded during the operation of either an actual product or a reproduced interface on a touch screen, and then operation time, the distance and velocity of the moving locus, and stationary time are then extracted using image processing and evaluated from the view point of usability. Moreover, the combined method between the gazing point data analysis and EEG analysis are also proposed.
