2 Portfolio 2 User Centered Design of a Pervasive Interface Introduction User-centered design (UCD) is an approach to design that grounds the process in information about the people who will use the product (Usability Professionals Association, 2009). User Centered Design concentrates on users through planning, designing and producing the product. In this report I am writing about the usability test carried out with a user centered design of a pervasive interface of house heating system. Problem space There are lots of different types of home heating systems. Some of them are modern like using boilers of hot water, others are heated with electricity and some people even heat their houses using wood or peat. I would like to talk about heating with electricity or from boilers. They usually have screens to control the heating, full of different buttons and gauges. Personally, I find them really hard to understand (picture below). In the picture you can see a controller with up and down, select, set and reset buttons. When I tried to use the device, arrows made temperature go up or down, I did not understood why do I need select button and set button did not respond to my press. Other people find them hard as well, according to anita9 There is a thermostat downstairs and each room has a wall vent with an individual fan control. When you turn on the fan the room warms up - but even if you don't turn it on, a little bit of warmth comes out as long as the thermostat is on. So do we save any heating energy by keeping some of the fans off? Or are they just blowing heat that's being produced anyway? What is behind the vents in the rooms? (GardenWeb, 2011). Of course, technicians can help you with that and solve the problem you have in few seconds. But I think people do not really want to call a technician every time they feel like it is too warm or too cold, or maybe they want to save some money by turning it off for a while. Doing it by yourself is usually complicated because the control interface on the boiler is really hard to understand. Although, users can just turn off the controller straight on the radiator, but that just disables the heat coming into your radiator, the boiler still keeps working. That s why I decided to design some pervasive interface prototypes of heating systems that every person could use.

3 Figure 1 Example of heating control in my house. Methodology According to W3C (Web Accessibility Initiative) In UCD, all development proceeds with the user as the center of focus. Rubin depicts the User-Centered Design Process as follows: The users are in the center of a double circle. The inner ring contains: Context; Objectives; Environment and Goals. The outer ring contains: Task Detail; Task Content; Task Organization and Task Flow (W3C, 2008). Goals of my research are to find out whether users would use this technology and if it is simple enough to use it for a regular person. For that I produced two prototypes of my interface low fi and mid - fi. Prototypes First prototype (low fidelity) is for users getting introduced with the idea of prototype, show some basic interactions and abilities of the interface. Moreover, it is fast way to mock up an interface no coding required, finds a wide variety of

4 problems in an interface, including many of the serious ones, allows an interface to be refined based on user feedback before implementation begins (Paper Prototyping, 2003). That is why I implemented it as a paper prototype. Second prototype (mid fidelity) is for fixing mistakes of the first prototype, getting users to enjoy using this prototype, identifying further improvements. Usability Methods There was more than one concept that I had to think about when I was running usability tests of my prototypes. I had to choose between measuring Qualitative or Quantitative data. Although, Each of these approaches has strengths and weaknesses, and each can benefit from our combining them with one another (UX matters, 2013). So I decided to measure both, because it would provide results from wider perspective in order to understand if prototypes are really easy to understand and satisfying user needs. With quantitative data I was recording right / wrong user paths and ask for help. This was crucial, because this device is supposed to be easy to use. I had lots of qualitative data recorded though, because I wanted to sense if the users are happy with results (satisfaction), prototype learnability, which parts are confusing or not obvious. Measuring Data Data was measured in two ways. Users after tests were provided with a questionnaire and I recorded data in data sheet as well. Questionnaires were used to detect satisfaction of the users, opinion about the prototype and suggestions for improvement of the device.

5 Figure 2 Blank Questionnaire In the data sheets that I had, I collected information such as detecting ease of use, user comments, parts where user was confused, frustrated, happy or behaved in any other way.

6 Both questionnaire and data collection sheets that were filled up by users are based in appendixes section. Conceptual Frameworks Figure 3 Blank Data Capture Sheet There are various conceptual frameworks that designers can think that they are important or not. But even for people who do not have any specific physical or mental characteristics that affect computer use, it has been found that adopting universal design principles can reduce fatigue, increase speed, decrease errors, and decrease learning time for all users. In many ways, universal design addresses the larger issues of usability by making things easier for everyone (Usability First, 2013). I think some of them are very important for a pervasive interface. One of key principles is flexibility or in other words solution path redundancy. As I came up with some heating devices problems they are tricky to use, usually you do not

7 know what to press to do something you need or if you press something wrong how to go back. That is why I tried to make as much different ways to complete the tasks for the users and in this way make the prototype as much flexible as possible. Another principle that is very important to me is being simple and intuitive. Even though I tried to make device as flexible as possible, it is always better to get everything right from the first time. So I simplified the navigations and functions as much as possible to ensure this is much easier way to set up heating in the house. Users To test my prototypes, obviously I needed potential users. Users that participated in this test were male Coventry university students and staff. I decided that it is enough for me to test each prototype with five users, because, according to Jeff Sauro, The five user number comes from the number of users you would need to detect approximately 85% of the problems in an interface, given that the probability a user would encounter a problem is about 31% (Measuring Usability, 2010). One of important things of the test is detecting problems of an interface and trying to fix them in the second prototype, so five users should be enough. Usability Test Procedure Tests were carried out in Coventry University. Participated users were provided with consent form, test information sheet. After the test was finished a questionnaire was provided for getting feedback about the prototype. Moreover, a prototype was provided for conducting the test. Myself I had a data capture sheet, to record particular information about test procedure and contestants. During first test with paper prototype I was also showing screens and interactions when users presses buttons and links in the prototype. During second test I did not had to show screens and interactions, because Mid Fidelity prototype was done using Microsoft Power Point software. After second tests users were provided some extra time just to try out prototype by themselves, just to further understand the idea and have fun with this interface. Consent forms, data capture sheets and questionnaires are provided in the appendices section of this document. Usability Test Tasks First, I thought this user centered design will be for controlling house heating. However, later on I decided to improve functionality to air conditioning and water temperature control as well. In this case, I had to make two tasks of the test, because one test would test only little functionalities of this device and I would not have enough data to make this pervasive interface as much easily usable as possible. Even though, both prototypes had same tasks during the tests in order to check if the improvements of the first prototype have increased usability of pervasive interface. Both tasks began in the main screen (after first task user has

8 to start from the main screen again). First task was to set a kitchen heating to twenty three degrees Celsius for next two hours. This will help me to find out if users find simple to set regular heating for short amount of time. Second task was to set living room air conditioning to eighteen degrees Celsius for every week day from four pm to ten pm. The reason of this task is to find out, if it is simple enough for users to complete harder tasks, identify possible issues. UCD Process Initial User Study As I lived in my parent s house I did not have to worry about house heating. But since I moved to study to Coventry University, I started to live in rented house sharing it with other people. And last December, my heater stopped working. My roommates and I tried many things to make it work playing with handles and pressures and other things that appeared on the boiler. Even though when we called a technician, it occurred that we wouldn t able to fix it even if we knew what handle or button does what. And that is how I came up with creating new interface for house heating. Moreover, I talked with my neighbors as well about this situation, and they answered that a technician set everything for their house heating and they try not to touch it because it is hard to understand what does what. So I understood that I am not alone with this problem. Requirements Gathering (Low Fi Prototype) In requirements gathering, user experience researchers gather information to lay groundwork for additional research, inform design, direct development, and provide test goals (TECED, 2012). The main purposes of my work were to create an easily usable, modern interface of the house heating system. Users need their heating system very simplified. They should be able to change temperature of their house and get used to the interface without any big problems occurring in their way. Also, the interface should be modern, because for younger people new modern interfaces are easier to understand than the old ones. Moreover, it is easier to fix problems occurring with the interface, if it is created using modern technologies. Interactive Paper Prototype With prototyping, the key is to create an interface quickly. To test out a completely new design creating a paper prototype is the fastest way to go (User Interface Engineering, 2000). Idea that instantly came up to my head was the simple modern prototype with touch screen device.

9 Figure 4 Paper Prototype - the beginning or start screen this has lock unlock and other direction buttons. Date and time is shown as well. I decided to create interface with three sections two small horizontal sections one on the top and one on the bottom of screen where you could switch between rooms and what you want to control (heating, water, air conditioner).

10 Figure 5 Paper Prototype - screen to set up regular heating in the living room. Pressing the box with temperature will edit it; pressing amount of time drop down box will let you choose from one of the default values from a drop down menu. Run and stop buttons to start and stop the selected heating. Set up varied heating button leads user to new window to set up weekly heating. The middle section has all the content - amount of time, temperature to set up. I also decided that a home screen is needed to make device look better and availability to lock and unlock it. After that, I came up that I also need a button or a separate link if users want to set various times for heating and temperature during the week period for saving purposes (for example if all people are not at home during that time, temperature falls down to save money and comes up again in around time when people come back to home).

11 Figure 6 Paper Prototype - screen to set up weekly conditioning and heating. Table: first row week days to set up; second row heating/conditioning start time; third row heating/conditioning end time; fourth row temperature of the room. Buttons: add another timetable brings up another timetable to add further times for varied heating/conditioning; start starts the selected program; repeat all days sets up all week days same values as the first column of the table. For entering values of temperature I decided to add additional key pad and for entering amount of time drop down boxes.

12 Figure 7 Paper Prototype - same heating screen just with the numbers keypad on the bottom to modify the temperature value. User Evaluation (Low Fi Prototype) The test of paper prototype with users showed me that the interface is not as usable as I expected it to be. I noticed many things that I need to fix in order to improve user satisfaction and usability of the prototype. Main problems: 1. Lock device button. Tests showed that all of the participants did not notice the unlock button in the corner of the device. 2. Varied Conditioning. All users were struggling when they had to set conditioning in weekly basis. 3. Navigation. Few users were unhappy about navigation in the interface (no back button, etc.). 4. Help. One user told that it would be very good to have help somewhere in the interface. Problems of interface affected satisfaction result as well. Some people even seemed disappointed with the certain parts of the interface. Even though overall result of first task was happy, the second task satisfaction was worse than expected two out of five was neither and one was disappointed.

13 Requirement Gathering (Mid Fi Prototype) In order to make much better both satisfactory and effectiveness results, I had to fix as much problems in the mid fi prototype as possible. Lock device button was changed to an open source lock icon which should be easier noticeable (problem one). Figure 8 PowerPoint Prototype - Beginning or start screen. Locked device. Varied conditioning button was changed to weekly conditioning (problem two). Navigation problems were solved by adding home and back buttons for certain windows (problem three).

14 Figure 9 PowerPoint Prototype - screen where you can set up regular kitchen Figure 10 PowerPoint Prototype - screens which appear when the set up weekly air conditioning button is pushed.

15 Help Icon was added to almost every page and a separate help page was created for every one of them (problem four). Interactive Digital Prototype I decided to create my mid fi prototype using Microsoft PowerPoint Even though it is not a professional prototype creation tool, it is quite good to create interactive and simple prototypes. I decided to use same design as I used for paper prototype except I fixed the issues that occurred during the user test (you can see them above). The font I chose was grey with some highlight of light grey for pressed buttons and chosen pages. User Evaluation (Mid Fi Prototype) The results of user tests were much better this time. Overall satisfaction result of the mid fi prototype was rated happy from all users. Moreover, the overall wrong path number during the tests decreased from one point eight in first prototype first task to zero point six in second prototype and from one point eight in first prototype second task to one point six in second prototype which is great progress. Test showed that with some fixed mistakes in from first prototype made the second prototype not only more effective, but much more satisfactory as well. Requirements Gathering Even though the results of the second interface tests were promising, there are still some features that could be improved or changed. Few users were confused about second task part, where they had to set times for weekly air conditioning. They were not sure whether to write them according to twenty four hour clock or twelve hour clock. This possibly happened because in the task sheet the requirements for task completion were displayed using twelve hour clock and device is using twenty four hour clock. So the task description may was misleading and that lead to more wrong paths during second task. Although, people that live in Great Britain are usually using twelve hour clock, so this might affected the test results as well. Moreover, most users still made mistakes when they had to set up weekly heating. More fixes might be needed with direction to weekly heating page. Future Work I think the most logical thing to do for the future would be developing the interface up to the high fidelity prototype. This could be done using some tools to create an app for a touch screen device and test it with the users. Also, this interface still has some things that need updating and fixing, so user satisfaction and efficiency result with the device would be even higher. Essential fixes should include updating weekly heating, so users would not get confused when they want to set it up, possibility to decide whether to use twenty four hour or twelve hour

16 clock. Furthermore, a deeper user case study must be made to make sure people need this type of technology and they would use it.
