Strategic Usability Research Group |
|
Strategic Usability Research Group STRATUS is doing research and providing
teaching in usability engineering and user-centred design. Our focus is
in the human actors that are surrounded by the technical systems and
services. In general, we study how humans can cope with the
all-the-time growing technological complexity around them. The aim in
our research is to uncover the user's needs, capabilities, expectations
and experiences that affect the usage of products and consumption of
services. This information is then transformed and used in product and service development.
Central concepts in our research have been throughout the years
usability and user-centred design. STRATUS has a long academic history
in usability research starting from the early 1990's ending to recent
studies on user experience. Our research makes use of methods from
controlled laboratory studies to experimental field techniques the
emphasis being on qualitative studies. Interaction analysis of information appliances in our
refurnished iLab (previous usability lab) provides good facilities both for student works as
well as basic and applied research in our research projects. Our
research and teaching offers methods and tools for user involvement to
be applied by service and technology developers' and companies' use.
