Recommendations included making the camera small and lightweight with integrated clipping, fast interaction, and voice control to reduce distraction. Safety concerns around balance and visibility during use were also noted. The testing provided insights to consider for an intuitive interface, protective housing, and features appropriate for the target leisure cyclist audience.
IRJET - Biometric Traits and Applications of FingerprintIRJET Journal
This document summarizes research on using biometric traits, particularly fingerprints, for gender identification. It first discusses how fingerprints and other biometric traits can be used for identification and verification. It then reviews several research papers on using fingerprints and other traits like gait and facial recognition for gender classification. The document finds that fingerprints provide 86% accurate results for gender identification due to their permanence and uniqueness. It lists the applications of biometrics in various fields like personal, commercial, government, and forensic use. Finally, it concludes that a proposed algorithm combining fingerprint-based techniques achieves an average 86% accuracy for gender determination.
The document provides a summary and analysis of a usability test conducted on financial aid instructions. It discusses that the usability test was conducted on July 18th at the author's residence and involved two student participants. The analysis found that participants struggled with slides containing heavy text and an email example slide. The recommendations are to revise slides with heavy text by breaking it up across multiple slides and clarifying the example photo on the email slide. The conclusion is that addressing these recommendations would result in 100% success of the tutorial.
The document provided will describe our research group’s findings pertaining to our usability test of
a newly created iteration of the IAKM public facing web site. The testing completed was performed
utilizing the ClearView eye tracking software to accurately monitor the user’s interaction on multiple
dimensions. The facility allowed us to work directly with the user, and monitor interaction via click
tracking, eye movement, audio and video. Combining those attributes, based on a time scale, our
research team was able to more accurately identify where the site changes were successful and where
they were not.
This document outlines the methods used to test the usability of four search engines: Ask, Bing, Google, and Yahoo. Observers and a moderator evaluated the search engines based on participants' performance of specific tasks. Observers tracked error rates, time spent, movements, and other metrics. The moderator controlled the test and collected similar data. Participants were given tasks like finding videos or websites within a time limit. Observers and the moderator then analyzed the search results, participants' performances, and rated the search engines based on various usability factors. The results informed recommendations to improve the design of search engines and usability testing methods.

This document discusses the motivation and origins for designing a system to measure footplate pressure on a rowing ergometer. The author aims to improve rowing technique and prevent injury by providing feedback on footplate pressure. Currently ergometers do not provide any data from the footplate, despite it being a key area for power transfer. The author proposes using sensors to measure footplate pressure and provide visual and audio feedback to users. The goal is to develop a low-cost, portable device that can benefit both rowers and the wider gym community by promoting better technique and reducing back injuries from improper ergometer use.

USABILITY ENGINEERING OF GAMES: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF MEASURING EXCITEMEN...ijujournal
Usability engineering and usability testing are concepts that continue to evolve. Interesting research studies
and new ideas come up every now and then. This paper tests the hypothesis of using an EDA-based
physiological measurements as a usability testing tool by considering three measures; which are observers‟
opinions, self-reported data and EDA-based physiological sensor data. These data were analyzed
comparatively and statistically. It concludes by discussing the findings that has been obtained from those
subjective and objective measures, which partially supports the hypothesis.
Automated face recognition offers an effective method for identifying individuals. Face images have been used in a number of different applications, including driver’s licenses, passports and identification cards. To provide some form of standardization for photographs in these applications, ISO / IEC JTC 1 SC 37 have developed standardized data interchange formats to promote interoperability. There are many different publically available face databases available to the research community that are used to advance the field of face recognition algorithms, amongst other uses. In this paper, we examine how an existing database that has been used extensively in research (FERET) compares with two operational data sets with respect to some of the metrics outlined in the standard ISO / IEC 19794-5. The goals of this research are to provide the community with a comparison of a baseline data set and to compare this baseline to a photographic data set that has been scanned in from mug-shot photographs, as well as a data set of digitally captured photographs. It is hoped that this information will provide Face Recognition System (FRS) developers some guidance on the characteristics of operationally collected data sets versus a controlled-collection database.

This white paper discusses two research studies on consumer perceptions of gesture interaction in vehicles. The first study evaluated the usability of predefined gestures and found that gestures were faster and more successful than conventional controls for most tasks. The second study assessed general consumer expectations and found initial skepticism toward gestures but that most participants could successfully control functions. Overall, gestures were seen as more enjoyable than conventional controls when focused on natural, simple gestures providing feedback. Cultural differences may also impact gesture design.

Considering People with Disabilities as Überusers for Eliciting Generalisable...Markel Vigo
When users struggle on the Web they employ extreme adaptations to tackle problematic situations, namely coping strategies. If we are able to automatically detect such situations we can provide the means to bypass or pre-empt them. However, isolating these coping strategies is a challenging task: coping occurs seldom and when it happens, coping is not always overtly manifested. Therefore, in order to identify the coping strategies employed by users in situ longitudinal observations have to be conducted, which are resource intensive. We propose a more economical method that transfers the coping strategies employed by groups of users that cope frequently and overtly, such as people with disabilities, to broader populations. To do so, we first identify the coping strategies employed by people with disabilities; then we code these strategies and convert them into coping detection algorithms that are injected into web pages. Remote longitudinal studies are run with broader populations to measure the detection rate of the algorithms. Based on participants’ feedback we iteratively modify the algorithms to adjust them to the coping strategies users employ. We illustrate this method with a case study that transfers the strategies employed by visually disabled users to able-bodied users. We discover that different populations do not only face the same problems, but also exhibit similar strategies to tackle them.
This project was conducted for the Nissan Research Center in Silicon Valley as an exploratory ethnographic study of the social life of the car. The goal was to generate a foundational understanding of how people in the U.S. understand and drive their cars and to provide clear design implications to Nissan Labs regarding future autonomous vehicles (all AV levels 1-4).
CATWALKGRADER: A CATWALK ANALYSIS AND CORRECTION SYSTEM USING MACHINE LEARNIN...mlaij
In recent years, the modeling industry has attracted many people, causing a drastic increase in the number
of modeling training classes. Modeling takes practice, and without professional training, few beginners
know if they are doing it right or not. In this paper, we present a real-time 2D model walk grading app
based on Mediapipe, a library for real-time, multi-person keypoint detection. After capturing 2D positions
of a person's joints and skeletal wireframe from an uploaded video, our app uses a scoring formula to
provide accurate scores and tailored feedback to each user for their modeling skills.

American Drivers Don't Understand Today's Automotive Safety FeaturesSebastian James
The Public Policy Center at the University of Iowa recently commissioned a survey that measured public understanding of the many new developments in automotive safety. The results? The a majority of respondents don't understand the substance and benefits of new technologies. 40 percent of them noted that vehicles they drove with these improvements installed responded unexpectedly while behind the wheel.
This document summarizes the results of fact-finding interviews conducted with 16 planners to understand how they currently experience and interact with past customer interview artifacts ("artifacts"), and what they want from such artifacts. The interviews found that while most planners were aware of some artifacts, they felt much of the past interview content was stranded and difficult to find. Additionally, most planners found the current format of artifacts did not fully meet their needs. Based on these findings, the author developed a prototype system to better present artifacts using alternative visualizations, which were then tested with planners to evaluate performance.

1.1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Research is an imperative element throughout every design process and it can be used at
any stage in design. A usability testing approach is a way of understanding problems or elements
of consideration instead of using a hypothesis approach. The purpose of this research is to gain
primary data on the relationship between the user and the product. This allows the researcher to
gain knowledge on all aspects of the product to achieve a better design outcome . The usability
testing approach was initiated by interviewing 11 users, using various testing techniques. The
information collected from this was correlated into findings. The findings were then analyzed and
the implications were discussed, to inform further design decisions. Testing techniques were
essential for the user interviews and these will be further discussed below.
2.0 TESTING TECHNIQUES
2.1 User Observations
Observations assist in understanding the user and their ability to form a relationship with
a product within in certain contexts. For this analysis, the observation technique was chosen to
identify issues and concerns associated with the user-interface interaction. This testing approach
was adopted to uncover the details within each stage of the user’s experience. Observations
commenced by giving the participant an overview of the task at hand and an explanation on the
purpose of the research. Following this, participants were given tasks to perform within an active
scenario, replicative of a cycling environment. Digital photographs and handwritten observations
were then recorded and analyzed to establish an understanding of the participants needs.
2.2 Think Aloud Protocol
The think-aloud protocol reflects the raw emotions and thoughts expressed by the user
while performing a set task. Unlike the observations, the set tasks are performed in an unnatural
or challenging setting. Despite the abnormality, the set tasks conducted within this research
reflected similar difficulties raised for cyclists when using a camera. This technique allowed each
researcher to gain a first-hand understanding of the user-product experience. The positives and
negatives were immediately revealed, recorded, and used to identify problems to ensure that the
user’s needs are met through the finalized design solution. Similar to the observations,
participants were given a new scenario and set of tasks to be completed. The scenario included
walking along a straight line whilst interacting with the unfamiliar camera. This approach
uncovered similar issues faced by cyclists including limited abilities to multi-task, use of
peripheral vision, and limited use of hands.
2.3 Face to face questionnaire
Questionnaires often necessitate a one on one interaction between the interviewer and the
participant. They provide a series of questions for the participant to complete. After completion,
the answers are reviewed by the interviewer for further examination. For the purpose of this
analysis, a written questionnaire approach was utilized to establish a personal relationship
between the interviewer and participant. This enabled the provision of informal conversations to
arise about the subject matter and provided opportunities for participants to ask questions. Prior to
4. Page 3
any physical testing, the users were asked initial questions, providing a broader understanding of
their current relationship with both cycling, and cameras. The answers were considered
immediately to aid in understanding the user and were analyzed further to establish connections
with the participants key thoughts during the Think-aloud protocol, and their actions from the
User observations” test.
2.4 User Groups
The user groups tested during the conduction of this report included a combination
between male and female participants (45% being male and 55% being female). The ages of the
participants varied significantly with the age range spanning between 18 years to 65 years. Each
participant had to complete each form of testing to obtain consistency across each research
members results. Appendix 5 shows the template used for the testing methods and questionnaires.
3.0 ANALYSIS
Collecting primary research is a valuable approach for designers as it enables an
understanding of the product they are designing and reveal any problems that may be emerge
within the process. For this analysis, each researcher within the group was given a template of set
tasks to complete with their users (refer to Appendix 5). Each researcher was to provide a camera
for the participants to use; one that they were unfamiliar with. As this research was based upon
designing a personal camera for a cyclist, it was imperative that the users tested were to be
personally familiar with cycling. The data was collected across eleven different participants; all of
whom were aged between 18 and 65 years old. An equal amount of male and female users were
tested to allow consistency across the findings.
The user testing had three stages involved; User observations, the Think-aloud protocol
and the Questionnaire. To begin the User observations, participants were asked general questions
regarding their identity, age and personal experience with cycling. Participants were then given a
set list of tasks to complete. The purpose of the set tasks was to observe the ways in which the
intended user group would initially interact with the camera device. After turning on the camera
and activating the automatic function in settings, participants were asked to take 5 photographs at
different angles. Following this, they were instructed to change the settings to manual and adjust
the contrast levels. Finally, the participants were to take another 5 photographs and delete the first
5 captured. Throughout the timeframe of the user performing the task, researchers took detailed
notes and photographs to capture significant points of interest and any difficulties the user
experienced.
Following the observations, participants were asked to perform the Think Aloud Protocol.
This task required participants to walk in a straight line whilst interacting with the camera (refer
to Figure 5- Appendix 8). After turning on the camera and activating the automatic function,
participants were to capture 4 photographs whilst adjusting the cameras zoom capacity (refer to
Figure 7-Appendix 8). The purpose of this task was to observe the participants ability to use the
camera device whilst moving. This was a significant aspect to note for the research as it linked to
the assumption that the target user group would be cycling whilst using the camera device. Whilst
the user was performing the set tasks, researchers wrote down the spoken thoughts expressed
during each stage completed. After the completion of the tasks, participants were asked general
5. Page 4
questions about their experience of performing the tasks and for their opinion on the requirements
of a camera designed for cycling.
The Questionnaire was used to gain understanding of a cyclist’s point of view regarding a
personalised cyclist camera (refer to Appendix 1). The questionnaire was performed in an
informal environment where participants were given the chance to explain their answers in person
and ask questions (refer to Figure 3- Appendix 4). Questions were centred around the purpose of
using a camera whilst cycling and any difficulties that may occur. This information allowed the
researchers to gain an understanding of the various elements to consider when designing the
camera. In response to the data collection, there were many considerations that were raised, these
in which will be discussed in the findings section below.
4.0 FINDINGS
4.1 User observations
The average overall time spent performing the tasks was 5 minutes for males, and 4
minutes for females. Appendix 1 demonstrates the duration of time taken according to age group
and gender. It was found that those who were younger and less experienced with the product took
longer to achieve the given tasks. Similarly, those who were older often had less familiarity with
camera devices. The fastest recorded age group was 36-45, with both males and females
averaging 2 minutes (refer to Appendix 1). It was observed that females experienced more
difficulties whilst interacting with the camera devices. The age groups that experienced the most
confusion included those aged between 46-55 and 56-65 (refer to Appendix 1). The areas that
caused the most confusion included the changing of camera settings (to Automatic and Manual)
and adjusting the camera settings (refer to Appendix 2 and Figure 6- Appendix 8). The recurring
feedback from the tasks outlined major confusion with changing interfaces, which relates back to
the buttons and how clear their functions are. Many test participants could not identify where
certain settings were due to small buttons, too many options, and lack of clear labeling (refer to
Figure 3- Appendix 6). The screen size and sun glare both effected visibility for some users which
was another interference (refer to Figure 1 Appendix 6).
4.2 Think aloud protocol
In terms of ergonomics, reoccurring comments were made aloud in relation to the shape
and handling of the cameras. Results showed that participants thought smaller organic forms
would be preferable for the design of the cyclist camera. It was also shown that fast interactions
and the integration of clipping abilities were of popular suggestion (refer to Appendix 3).
Participants noted that single handed use made it easier to keep balance, whereas those with both
hands preoccupied were under greater inclination to lose balance. In terms of practicality, the fast
shutter in accompaniment with a stabilizer reduced the likelihood of motion blur, and allowed the
user to comfortably point and shoot without always looking directly at the camera. Most test
participants slowed down to complete the tasks as they had to look closely for the buttons and
ensure that changes were made (refer to Figure 8-Appendix 8). It was recommended to consider
voice commands to allow camera use without distraction and lower safety risks. As voice
6. Page 5
command is not always possible and difficult to perfect (commuting in loud traffic, wind
interferences, accents etc.), it was suggested that each button could explore different textures,
shapes, or functions to differentiate buttons without distraction. Suggestions included; levers,
push buttons, scrolls and thumb pulls (refer to Appendix 6). Smaller, organic handle grips were
expressed as advantageous and comfortable, as well as considering a slight weight to the camera;
ensuring steadiness when cycling. Appendix 3 breaks down the common recommendations for the
cameras functions and shapes.
4.3 Face to face questionnaire
It was found through the Questionnaire that most participants initiated in cycling for
leisure and fitness purposes. It was common that users cycled for both reasons. The rider group
with the greatest frequency of use, however, was those in competition (Refer to Appendix 4).
Participants were asked their opinion on the camera they would be most inclined to use for
cycling. Results showed that participants favored sports action cameras (e.g. Go Pro’s) and
mobile phones for use whilst cycling. It can be assumed from other responses and observations
that the phone preference is due to an ease of use and familiarity with one’s phone (shown in
Appendix 6). The size and durability of the sports action cameras was the most significant aspect
participants noted. Certain features were suggested to appeal to each individual use of the camera
whilst cycling. Recommendations also included the addition of race routes, location overlay and
speed indicators for racing. Despite the interest in such novel suggestions, there were underlying
concerns from majority of test participants. The common concerns that arose included lack of
safety due to balance, distraction, multi-tasking and reduced visibility. Awareness was drawn to
the risks of camera damage from situations including water logging, lens scratching, and
inundation of dust. The recurring recommendations to combat these concerns included voice
commands and other features such as differing button shapes and sizes to alleviate the risk of
distraction. Suggestions raised to eliminate risks included the addition of shockproof, waterproof,
and dustproof housing to protect their investment (refer to Appendix 6).
5.0 IMPLICATIONS
The implications of using a camera whilst cycling vary depending on the form of cycling.
The above report has outlined the that there are many factors to consider for designing the cyclists
camera. Designing a camera for cyclists poses many challenges including the context for the
device, its size, shape and form. Over half of the participants interviewed experienced areas of
confusion with the buttons and light adjustment settings. As cycling is an activity which is
performed outside, external factors such as light, wind and bodily changes (perspiration) can all
effect the way the user interacts with the camera. Therefore, in each group members design, it
will be important to take these aspects into consideration integrating intuitive buttons, as well as
simple interfaces that eliminate confusion and distraction. When users were asked what
recommendations, they propose for a camera used by cyclists, the top three popular
recommendations were; clipping abilities, fast interactions with the camera and small in size.
Presumably our designs should include but are not limited to, an aspect which will allow the
camera to be fastened to the bike and/or the cyclist. This is important as the user may be
7. Page 6
travelling at high speeds thus requires a device that will be sturdy and easy to use. Furthermore,
the design should be light and of a compact nature. This requirement applies both to cameras held
by the user, and cameras attached to the bike. It is a necessity that the camera should not interfere
with the user’s ability to cycle safely or disrupt them from enjoying their experience. Finally,
considering that a large majority of users said that they cycled for leisure reasons, with fitness and
competitive motives following. The above findings suggest that the groups primary users will
involve young individuals who cycle for leisure and exercise; presuming that they ride at a
moderate to fast pace. Treatments to the camera such as shock resistance and water proofing will
be of benefit to ensure the device can withstand the activities produced by the user (cyclist).
Image stabilizers and high focus qualities will also be advantageous for the user to ensure that
they capture their photographs/recordings successfully.

The user, being a young millennial, found it quite easy to navigate the DSLR and
didn’t struggle much. The only areas of confusion were when changing between
settings as the DSLRs offer a lot of options.
THINK ALOUD PROTOCOL
Scenario
Test subject walking along straight line while completing tasks. Test subject expresses
thoughts and emotions while performing tasks.
Tasks to complete
1. Turn the camera on
Record: I like the flick of the button instead of pressing it, it makes it different
2. Put the camera on Auto
Record: That’s a bit difficult to do because there are so many options on the
dial
3. Zoom in to maximum capacity
Record: That’s easy with the spinning lens
4. Take 2 photos at different angles
Record: The fast shutter speed helps a lot
5. Zoom out halfway
Record: It’s a bit hard to tell where halfway is without looking at the barrel
precisely, but I think I’ve got it
6. Take 1 photo of the ground
Record: Yeah done
7. Take 1 photo of the sky
Record: That’s a bit difficult but the fast shutter speed makes it easy. The wide
angle I think helps as well ‘cause I don’t have to really look at where I’m
pointing it so I can focus more on the line
8. Turn off

Questions for user?
1. Do you think any features be could be beneficial to a camera used whilst cycling?
For example; clipping device, wearable device, wrist band etc.
Wide angle helped a lot, same with the grip handle shaped to the hand
2. Are their certain shapes or forms that would enhance the use of this cyclist camera?
For example; curved/ organic forms or square/angled forms.
It depends, generally squared forms but I really liked the organic shape of the
handle. The shapes of the buttons should be different, that helped a lot
3. Do you think that a camera designed for cycling should be Large or small?
Definitely smaller than the DSLR, but still reasonably sized. Also a bit heavy
would be good so that you can hold it steadily
4. Do you think that interacting with this camera whilst cycling should be a fast or slow
experience?
