Questions and Answers for user testing
The following was TEXTSEGRITY interface user testing. Test date: October 30, 2008.
1. Was the text to screen instructions immediately understandable?
User 1: not immediately. wasn’t sure if there was a “key word” needed to activate project.
User 2: yes
User 3: NO! too small not enough instruction
User 4: Very simple + clear
User 5: yes
User 6: It was a little confusing. Might be better to say “text the moon” than “text at the moon”?
2. Was the subject matter motivating for you to text?
User 1: if i were a werewolf! – or @ a Halloween party. Context is important -> ps. the image is awesome! so clear!
User 2: I guess so.
User 3: NO I don’t get it, why we have to txt to the moon
User 4: Yes
User 5: yes
User 6: It’s very seasonal. especially cause tomorrow’s halloween. Would be cool to have different subject matters for different occasions/events
3. Was it revealing that the collected texts were intended to create a unified conversation?
User 1: no. didn’t understand why there were 8 needed & not sure what image they were making when lined up on left. seemed arbitrary.
User 2: They seemed only loosely related
User 3: Conversation of confusion
User 4: Yes
User 5: yes
User 6: Not entirely. But as more texts are displayed. I assume there will be more and more reactionary texts that then create a conversation. It was a little odd to have the input stop at 8 though.
4. Did you find yourself interacting/talking to other people around you in regards with the screen’s subject matter?
User 1: A lot of ooo’s and ahhhs! not much deeper than that.
User 2: No
User 3: not much but potential
User 4: No, but then again I’m a jerk
User 5: yes
User 6: No.
5. What design/concept improvements would you suggest for this type of interaction?
User 1: if this were to be a single conversation or narrative -> image(s) needs to relate to a narrative more closely. / maybe the texts make up a halloween image or some other image in keeping with the theme.
User 2: More specific instructions or more inspirational imaging in shocking?
User 3: More instruction and explanation to the user what we need to do to achieve what? / seasonal theme is a good idea.
User 4: Better moon image
User 5: I texted, but it didn’t show on the screen (?)
User 6: Clearer instructions & longer interactions.
