Usability Evaluations and Prototypes

We develop prototypes as the basis for usability tests. These enable an early, constructive discussion about the design of interactive systems. By creating customer journey maps, we visualize the various steps that users go through in order to understand and optimize the entire user experience.

Ergonomic Analysis

Through observations, surveys, CAD models (e.g. RAMSIS*) and anthropometric data, we evaluate and optimize workplaces and products to promote user health and efficiency. We create detailed wireframes and mockups that visualize the basic structure and functionality of system interactions and serve as a basis for further development.

• Cognitive ergonomics: We investigate attention, fatigue and workload using questionnaires, eye tracking, ECG and EDA in order to develop recommendations for work design and break organization. (ECG: electrocardiogram; EDA: electrodermal activity)
• Personnel selection and training: With the help of assessment centers, psychometric tests and simulation-based training programs, we ensure the right personnel selection and efficient employee development.
• Optimization of the human-machine interface: Usability tests, interface design and ergonomic consulting help increase user satisfaction and reduce error rates. We emphasize barrier-free designs.
• Human-system integration: Through work analyses, process consulting and virtual reality simulations, we develop user-centered designs that increase productivity and motivation. With the help of analysis tools such as eye tracking, heat maps, etc., we examine user behavior in order to continuously improve interaction points and user experiences.
• Simulation of cognitive processes: We use simulation models to analyze cognitive processes and optimize system interaction and work processes.
• Support in HR processes: We implement assessment centers and prevention programs to achieve higher employee satisfaction.
• User and design thinking workshops: Our workshops promote innovation processes and user-centered product development tailored to the actual needs and tasks of users. We also facilitate workshops within the context of quality and safety management (e.g., FTA, FMEA, H-FMEA, occupational health and safety).
• Human-machine teaming and AI: We improve collaboration between humans and AI-supported systems through optimized interaction and task distribution.
• UI/UX design and prototyping: We create interactive prototypes as the foundation for comprehensive UI/UX testing, enabling early discussions on the design of user-friendly system interactions. Our team develops visually appealing, interactive elements that facilitate user guidance and improve satisfaction and efficiency.
• Use of VR/AR applications: We develop VR/AR applications for training and simulation to create realistic training environments and design and evaluate workplaces through immersive technologies.
