An Exploration to User Experiance of Mobile Tablet Application Through Prototyping

One key factor in inexperienced users adopting mobile technology is the ease of use of mobile devices. The present paper investigates inexperienced user performance through a usability testing of three alternative prototypes of a mobile tablet application. For this purpose of the study, three prototypes have been investigated, built on the basis of previous research conducted in collaboration with users. The investigation takes place with a usability testing of these three alternative prototypes of a mobile tablet application. Our study involves five navigation tasks which novices users were asked to complete with each of the three prototypes. Our results showed that participants displayed better task performance with the interface structure and layout prototype F1, which was created in collaboration with participants, in contrast to prototypes interface F2 and F3 that have been designed without the collaboration of the users, which both caused navigation problems.
