Full instructions
Intended to be read before using the biometric device
Or placed in the biometric device
Better integrated as individual symbols
into the dynamic feedback of the
biometric device display
Levels of visualisation
Realistic and representative
Symbolic and abstract
Usability challenges
Mobility
Flexibility
Accessibility
Fatigue
Crossover experiences
Usability findings
Context is important
Order is important
Parallelism is important
You can’t simply mix and match
You can’t simply ask ‘What does this

More findings tomorrow with
