Experience Labs Traditional user testing in the HomeLab and ShopLab.
Contextual inquiry Different levels of knowledge about experience are accessed by different techniques. (Sleeswijk Visser, et al., 2003) An interactive, creative way to stimulate users to share their thoughts.
Online concept confrontation Presenting pictures, videos and user-interface mock-ups for feedback.
Online testing vs. laboratory testing No significant differences were found in initial testing.
