Projects
  • Netflix compared to Amazon Prime - A Tobii eye tracking study
    Netflix compared to Amazon Prime - A Tobii eye tracking studyIt was aimed to compare the services and to determine their current user experience. The evaluation focused on their unique features the 'My List' and 'Watchlist' functionality. The standard metrics of the Common Industry Format (CIF) was slightly modified to the special needs of the project. I used the Tobii eye tracker to support the user while doing the retrospective thinking aloud (RTA) method to make it possible for them to explain their approach.
  • Self-driving cars
    Self-driving carsOur group got allocated to a really novel topic of self-driving cars. We worked with augmented reality to get feedback on our design for the autonomous car and found a way to test our hypothesis on how information can influence trust in technology. I sketched the progress of events for our simulation, based on the main concerns of our respondents and in collaboration with the developers. Furthermore I designed the test setup using the Wizard of Oz technique and prepared the materials for it.
