Interactive Demo: Rapid, Live Data Supported Prototyping with U.S.E.

Abstract

Hands-on research involving multiple tools and high fidelity prototypes is very rewarding. However, preparation, execution and evaluation is slow and inefficient due to the lack of streamlined development & analysis environments. Therefore, we demonstrate the prototyping capabilities of "User Studies Made Easy" -- a software framework for multi-tool user studies. To do so, we showcase a simple dashboard HMI, which uses live data from a driving simulation and physiological assessment tools, with an emphasis on how little effort was needed to implement it. Additionally offering the opportunity to participate in a hackathon competition for a trust calibrating dashboard further fosters discussion about possible improvements to USE, as well as the topic of trust and acceptance in automation.
