Digital signage, if deployed properly, tells venue-specific stories, consistently serving up the right content to the right audience at the right time.

Accessibility

SHOUT OUT

Amanda L. Goodman @godaisies Source: http://bit.ly/1bxTN8R

To be more accessible, kiosks need a headphone jack, so a blind user can interact with them privately; a keyboard with keys you can find by touch; and correct software applications to make everything work correctly.

User Testing2Source: Darien Library

IMPORTANT


Stress that you are testing the design NOT the person. Say this repeatedly.

Make it so!

SAMPLE QUESTIONS TO ASK


Have you used a touchscreen kiosk before?

What do you expect to learn or discover from using this kiosk?

Would the current display [screensaver or default screen] encourage you to explore? Why?

How would you find X?

Do you know where you are in the building from this map?

46/77

SAMPLE QUESTIONS TO ASK


Where would you find information about X?

Now that you have started to use the kiosk, is there anything else you would want to find on it? Are we missing anything?

TIPS


Work in Teams of TwoOne asks the questions. The other writes.

Ask to Film Their HandsSaves time on note taking and gives you video proof of how users act.

Encourage Thinking Out LoudYou want to know why they’re doing what they do.

Offer CompensationCoffee is popular!
