Portable Usability Labs As User Research Tools

Posted by timothy on from the bookmobile-meets-the-pepsi-challenge dept.

Pete Gordon writes "Do Portable Usability and User Research Labs make sense in the software development life-cycle? This interview (my bias--it's with me, and I have a tool in beta now) covers some of the issues and questions on KDE's news site. I don't have the right answers necessarily, just looking for others input and opinions. Also, here are other links about the subject over the past few months. Info World and Harry's comparison."

    What a let down the actual article was! ;)
    I had visions of a small to medium sized vehicle decked out with a boot full of storage arrays and extra processors jammed into the glovebox. The rear-view would be replaced with a small LCD display, and it would have speakers built into the headrest. And man, you should have seen the cup-holders this thing had!
