Ethnographic Research
Ethnographic Research involves studying product users under real-world conditions to understand their needs. It serves as the foundation for user-centered design. Design Science’s approach to ethnographic research is absolutely unique in 3 ways:
- The use of proprietary video tools that we have developed.
- An extremely rigorous approach to data analysis.
- The use of graphic and interactive tools to make complex information accessible and actionable.
… More than people watching.
Human Factors Consulting & Usability Testing
Human Factors consulting involves 2 types of efforts:
- Finding and applying published technical information about the physical and cognitive characteristics of human beings, and
- Using human-factors methods, such as task analysis and usability testing, to analyze the usability of prototypes or existing products.
Both efforts are designed to improve the usability of products…
… A natural fit.
User Interface Design & Prototyping
Interaction Design is the creation of human interfaces, from full-screen graphic user interfaces, to LCD screen interfaces, to simple control/display interfaces, to printed instructions and manuals.
Our multi-disciplinary team covers all the bases: graphic design, information architecture, human factors, systems engineering, and copywriting.
Thus, our interfaces are visually compelling, easy to use, and fully compatible with the relevant development environment.
And we can prototype or simulate anything …
… Intuitive never looked so good.
