Usability Labs

Blink's Process

Blink's in-house usability labs help our clients to identify interface problems before they become business problems.

Lab 1 Test Area

Seattle Labs

Our Seattle usability labs are equipped to handle both paper-based and on-screen prototype testing. Two test work stations with advanced usability analysis software are available to simulate testing in multiple locations. Several camera angles are offered to provide the best possible viewing experience. A large two-way mirror provides optimal viewing of the session from the observation area.

Other Locations

Our suite of mobile and remote equipment allows our usability engineers to go where the users are. We've conducted tests throughout North America, Asia, and Europe.

Client Observation Areas

The client observation areas offer seating for optimal viewing of sessions through large one-way mirrors. Flat-panel displays allow for high-quality viewing of screen captures from testing sessions. Wireless Internet connections and multiple whiteboards provide a constructive environment for note-taking and productivity during sessions.

Handheld Testing

Handheld devices require unique testing tools due to their small size. With specialized equipment, we can capture user actions on even the smallest input and display devices.
