    When I was 17 I lived in Surat Thani, Thailand for one year.
    This was a life changing experience! I was fully integrated into Thai culture for the year and lived with two Thai families. I learnt how they lived, laughed and loved.
    Most of all I learnt about myself and my Purpose in life. As part of my trip, I ordained as a monk for 1 month and discovered meditation and Buddhism. These lessons have stayed with me in everything I do. My thesis on meditation, my research into the human of…

    Most of all I learnt about myself and my Purpose in life. As part of my trip, I ordained as a monk for 1 month and discovered meditation and Buddhism. These lessons have stayed with me in everything I do. My thesis on meditation, my research into the human of unconscious using eye trackers and of course my love of Asian people and culture. Now I spend almost my entire year in Indonesia and Singapore and regularly travel to Thailand for work & play.

  • Gaining UX Insight through Dyads and Triads

    Why do UX researchers commonly test systems that deal with home entertainment, travel etc in interview sessions, in focus groups with people who’ve never met each other, using surveys, or in one-on-one usability tests? Shouldn't these be done with actual families so that the decision making can be observed?

  • Comparing eCommerce Comparison Engines

    UX Magazine

    One of the major features of e-Commerce sites is ‘Compare’. Gone are the days of asking a sales person to explain the differences between products. The Internet gives customers the ability to compare products with many sites providing side-by-side comparisons. In the past, this has often been via an awkward add-on which involved searching high and low for the ‘Compare’ button—something that simply didn’t meet shoppers’ expectations. Sites are now increasingly providing a better comparison…

  • Eye Tracking - Best way to test rich app usability

    UXMagazine

    Eye tracking has recently been debated on many fronts, with a particular focus on the ways people misuse it, and how some use eye tracking only as a way to "wow" clients. In our experience, however, it's invaluable in bringing to light key findings that are otherwise unattainable through other user testing methods. Eye tracking offers UX people the ability to:
    - Leave a participant alone during a test to focus on the task at hand, and therefore
    - Capture real physiological data about…

    Eye tracking has recently been debated on many fronts, with a particular focus on the ways people misuse it, and how some use eye tracking only as a way to "wow" clients. In our experience, however, it's invaluable in bringing to light key findings that are otherwise unattainable through other user testing methods. Eye tracking offers UX people the ability to:
    - Leave a participant alone during a test to focus on the task at hand, and therefore
    - Capture real physiological data about their conscious and unconscious experiences.

    This data is unique to eye tracking.
