Translating GUI Heuristics into VUI Heuristics


Masters Thesis Research

  • Exploring the design of conversational voice interfaces, and the development of design guidelines and heuristics to improve conversational voice interaction
  • Exploring how GUI heuristics can be used as a baseline to adapt and develop new, VUI-based heuristics that can be adopted by industry designers
  • Conducted cognitive walkthroughs, heuristic evaluations, and brainstorming sessions with user interface experts to brainstorm different types of existing VUI issues in Google Home and Amazon Echo, and to brainstorm potential new guidelines
