Description

Intel contracted HumanCentric to conduct over 100 human factors and usability heuristic analyses of Intel co-branded content provider sites which are accessed from a television-like viewing experience.

The heuristic reviews were conducted in HumanCentric’s usability labs and took place in various languages with the assistance of local translators. The HumanCentric team worked closely with the Intel team to identify usability goals and strategies for evaluating web-hosted applications in order to encourage consistency, ease-of-use and a seamless user experience.

Over the course of the project, a set of recommended guidelines were generated which provided the benefit of having a single point of reference for the Intel team. As a part of the program, Dan Mauney, Manager of Human Factors, was invited to co-present at the 2006 Intel Developer’s Forum on the topic of 10-foot user interface usability.
