userfit, A practical handbook on user- centred design for Assistive
Technology
Author:
David Poulson, Martin Ashby, Simon Richardson
Abstract:
The emphasis of the USERfit methodology is on the design of
products that use advanced technology in some form, and where
users will be expected to interact with the product. The focus
of USERfit is therefore on the design of products that have
significant user interface. The first section is a general introduction
to the concept of usability, the following provides a more detailed
introduction to the USERfit design philosophy, the next section
describes the methodology and the use of its different technniques
(e.g. user trials, interviews, questionnaires, discussion groups).
Two appendices are included to give practical examples of how
to use the methodology in design.
