Theo Mandel's case study of his usability design and prototyping work on OKbridge (see Client List) is featured in the User Centered Design Works (UCD Works) website. The second edition of UCD Works is initiated and managed by the IOP MMI, an Innovation-oriented Research Program Human-Machine Interaction funded by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs. Case studies that highlight good examples of user-centered design with the HCI community are invited and reviewed. Only seven have been published world-wide in the second edition.
The case study is titled, Improving the Usability and User Experience of the OKbridge Online Bridge Game. The case study details include: current situation, objectives, target audience, UCD approach, test procedure, final product and conclusions. Screenshots of the current application, prototype and the final product are featured. Video demos show the final product in use. |
