Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Product Design
  • Usability Engineering

Background:

  • Evaluating new product concepts early in development is crucial.
  • Traditional usability testing can be time-consuming and expensive.
  • Drink can refund machines require user-friendly interfaces for efficient operation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the usability of two drink can refund machine concepts.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of low-fidelity three-dimensional paper prototypes (3DPP) for usability testing.
  • To determine if 3DPP testing can influence product development decisions.

Main Methods:

  • Conducting usability tests with actual users in a real-world environment.
  • Utilizing low-fidelity three-dimensional paper prototypes (3DPP) for concept evaluation.
