Design Lenses-based process to evaluate interfaces for mobile devices

Abstract

The present work focuses on proposing an evaluation process focused on interfaces formobile devices. In this way, interviews were performed to understand how evaluationprocesses are considered within the routines of professionals who deal with mobile devices.The proposed process has a set of associated evaluation lenses. To facilitate access tothe process, an application was developed, and it is presented at the end of this paper.Tests were performed to understand the applicability of the proposed process. The resultssuggest that experts using the proposed process are able to identify problems and that theprocess itself is seen as useful in professional and educational settings. It is proposed thatin the future the process is subjected to tests that include the evaluation and redesign ofthe evaluated interface. In this way, it would be possible to observe how the conclusionsand reflections awakened in the specialists throughout the evaluation process can impactthe redesign of interfaces.
