ULAB

ULAB

The Usability Lab is a space specially set up to putuser-centred design into practice.

It is equipped with specific devices for physiological measurements, such as Electroencephalogram (EEG), Eyetracking or Galvanic Skin Response (GSR). The space has the structure of a Gesell chamber, which makes it possible to get the most out of individual and group testing with users.

The laboratory is divided into two separate spaces: a test execution room and an observation room. The visibility is unidirectional and this allows the indirect presence in the observation room of members of the design team, beyond the facilitator of the session.

This laboratory has recently been included as an asset by the Spri Group in the Health node of the Basque Digital Innovation Hub (BDIH), under the name "Usability, Inclusive Design and Accessibility Laboratory".”

 

ULAB EQUIPMENT

EYETRACKING TOBII PRO GLASSES 2

Eyetracking Tobii Pro Glasses 2. Pro Glasses 2 is a portable eye tracker designed to capture natural visual behaviour in any real-life environment with wide-angle scene camera, gyroscope, accelerometer and microphone. The eye movement sampling rate is 50-100 Hz.

EEG DIADEM BITRAIN

EEG Diadem Bitbrain. Diadem is a dry-sensor electroencephalogram (EEG) designed for real-world applications with 12 dry sensors located in specific brain areas (pre-frontal, frontal, parietal and occipital) for the estimation of emotional and cognitive states.

ANILLO / RING - BITBRAIN

Ring - Bitbrain. Ring is a mobile and robust biosignal measurement device for monitoring skin conductance (electrodermal sensor - EDA / galvanic skin response meter - GSR) and cardiovascular activity (BVP sensor).

 

AGEING SIMULATORS

  • Sarcopenia simulator suit (ReSanté-Vous)
  • Glasses simulating: total blindness, glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts... (ReSanté-Vous)
  • Helmets simulating deafness and tinnitus (GERT)
  • COPD simulator corset (GERT)
  • Parkinson's simulator gloves

INKLUGI

A web tool for assessing the exclusion caused by products and services throughout the ageing process. Based on data from the INE's Survey on Disability and Autonomy and Dependency (EDAD), it calculates the number of people who have difficulties or are unable to use a given product or service. The INKLUGI tool helps to quantify the degree of exclusion and to prioritise design decisions in the development of new products and services.
