How do you test GPS usability in a moving car? With Morae!

Posted on Saturday March 11, 2006 by Betsy Weber

I was just alerted to this news story from one of my RSS feeds! Morae was used to test the usability of a GPS navigation system. What's great about this is that you could not have tested this in a traditional usability lab. They needed a portable solution to test a handheld device, and that's where Morae came in.

Read more about the news story here.

And, you can visit our website for an interview with Rob Tannen, PhD, is Director of Human Factors at Electronic Ink, for more information.

This is more of the more unique ways I've heard Morae used. Anyone else have Morae stories to share?

As an added bonus, I was just sent a video made Camtasia Studio from Todd Follansbee of Web Marketing Resources. He shares how he does usability testing of a Web site with Morae. Click here to watch his video.

Used your link on the Visual Lounge to view Todd Follansbee's website usability "ad." That is one of the best uses of Camtasia I have seen - Mr. Follansbee should be given credit for that bit of work! Thanks for adding the link.

Thanks Troy, very glad you liked it. While it was done with Camtasia all of the testing was shot with Morae, which is incredible as well.
