Usability and accessibility pro-tips for games user research lab design | Ashley Brown

Ever wonder how you can make your user research lab more accessible? After listening to this half-hour presentation of survey results you will walk away with a list of 7 pro-tips on designing a user research lab that’s usable, accessible, and accommodating to playtesters of all shapes, sizes, and abilities. The data presented here comes from a survey conducted in April 2019 which asked students, faculty, staff, and members of the Games User Research SIG how to create the ideal playtest lab. The survey consisted of 10 mandatory multiple-choice questions which involved selecting images of desirable furniture, drapery and paint colors, and 9 short answer optional questions which asked for selection justification/explanation. Although the furniture choices were interesting, the short answer form was an absolute gold mine of accessibility and usability tips to ensure every lab can be used by everybody. The results of this survey were ultimately used in making furniture, paint, and carpet purchasing decisions for the Games User Research lab at the University of Utah, but I also wanted to give the knowledge I gained back to the GUR SIG community with this presentation. If you ever are put in the position of needing to buy furniture or remodel a lab space, this presentation is a great reference point and a reminder to keep accessibility and usability concerns at the heart of your purchasing decisions.
