Mercer Den: Mercer’s new user experience mobile lab allows for usability testing on the go

Mercer University technical communication professors and students will be able to take their usability testing and research to the next level with an innovative mobile lab. 

The Technical Communication Department already has a research lab outfitted with computers, cameras and technology that monitors biometric information like pulse rate, blood pressure and eye-tracking. Here, in the Science and Engineering Building on the Macon campus, volunteers can be observed as they navigate websites and apps, which provides vital information on how digital user experiences can be improved.
