“…Las (Lyons y Starner, 2001), solo consideran algunos factores involucrados en la usabilidad de una aplicación móvil, y dejan de lado lo relacionado con el contexto de su uso. De esta forma, al no contar con información del entorno, se hace un análisis sesgado de la usabilidad.…”

El uso masivo de los dispositivos móviles, asociado a la heterogeneidad de estos y también de los usuarios, implica un desafío al momento de evaluar la usabilidad de las aplicaciones móviles. Es importante disponer de metodologías y herramientas que permitan realizar estudios de usabilidad específicos para este tipo de aplicaciones en las cuales el contexto de uso cambia continuamente. Es necesario que las pruebas de usabilidad sean transparentes para el usuario, recolecten datos de usabilidad y del contexto de manera automática, no sean intrusivas para la aplicación que se prueba y que soporten en alguna medida la variabilidad de los dispositivos. Para lograr las características mencionadas, en este trabajo se propone un framework denominado FUsaM (Framework de usabilidad móvil) que es extensible y permite generar e integrar pruebas de usabilidad en aplicaciones móviles. Para su diseño e implementación se utiliza el enfoque de construcción de Línea de productos de software (SPL, Software Product Line) combinado con la Programación orientada a características (FOP, Feature-Oriented Programming) y la Programación orientada a aspectos (AOP, Aspect-Oriented Programming). También se presenta un caso de estudio para demostrar la funcionalidad de este.

“…The evaluation of mobile devices poses many challenges in testing their usability without constraining users in unnatural ways of motion-limited laboratory settings. Wearable mobile devices can be used in a large variety of contexts (Lyons & Starner, 2001), that could influence the user interaction over a prolonged period. This makes understanding the usability factors of mobile devices over a prolonged period an interesting topic.…”

Together with the use of rapid prototyping techniques and efforts to reduce the production cost, wearable and mobile electronic devices brought to the market faster than ever, with less time spent on actual usability testing of these devices for prolonged use. Due to this, the usability lifespan of such electronic devices has reduced significantly where consumers might be moving or upgrading on to using newer electronic devices more often than they really need to. Therefore, this paper focuses on identifying key characteristics of usability that may encourage prolonged use of an activity-monitoring device. Secondary goal was to observe and record any user acceptance and/or usability issues that may arise from using an activity monitor over a prolonged period.In this research, an intensive study was undertaken using ethnographic methods of enquiry to improve the rigor of the study. In general, ethnography rests upon participant observation, a methodology whereby the researcher spends considerable time observing and interacting with a social group. The researcher analyzed the face-to-face interviews' video recordings and collected field notes repeatedly according to the coding rules devised using open-coding methodology. Later on, the researcher formed a generic thematic analysis based schema to analyze the coded data.

“…In [10], Lyons and Starner investigate the interaction between the user, his wearable computer and the external context as perceived by the user, for the purpose of performing usability studies more easily. Our paper reaches similar conclusions in how such a system should be built, but differentiates itself through our focus on telepresence rather than usability studies.…”

We present our experiences of using wearable computers for providing an ambient form of telepresence to members of an e-meeting. Using a continuously running e-meeting session as a testbed for formal and informal studies and observations, this form of telepresence can be investigated from the perspective of remote and local participants alike. Based on actual experiences in real-life scenarios, we point out the key issues that prohibit the remote interaction from being entirely seamless, and follow up with suggestions on how those problems can be resolved or alleviated. Furthermore, we evaluate our system with respect to overall usability and the different means for an end-user to experience the remote world.
