Usability tests

Should your product be tested in terms of usability? We identify satisfaction factors or uncover pitfalls in the operating procedures of a system, user interface, or software. We offer tailored solutions to match your learning objectives, your schedule, and your budget: From a quick usability test for a first impression of acceptance to extensive safeguarding with an international study design and large numbers of cases studies.

Control specification

Do you need detailed documentation of the display and operating concept as a basis for developing software? Our UX consultants are happy to help: either selectively in the important phase of a project or even during development in the long term. We draw up specifications, document generally accepted practices (golden rules), and define operating logic, operating procedures, and operating modalities.

Autonomous driving – How long until we no longer do the driving ourselves?

Driver assistance systems (DAS) have now arrived on the scene. Even small and compact cars now feature complex, sensor-based systems such as collision avoidance systems. This is a development that will certainly intensify in the next few years. All systems currently offered already have one thing in common: They only offer assistance, while the control and responsibility remain with the driver.

Urban mobility - mobility of the future

What will mobility look like in the future? And what kind of vehicles will be used? Mobility is the epitome of freedom. People are moving more and more, faster and faster, further and further, and their mobility is becoming increasingly spontaneous. This represents a significant challenge to future mobility services. Demographic change in society, urbanization, and the possibilities of digitization are changing individual requirements for mobility. In the future, personal needs must be aligned with those of an individual’s surroundings.
