Abstract
This paper describes the use of a technique to improve design and to
develop new uses and improve usability of user interfaces. As a case study, we
focus on the design and usability of a research prototype of an actigraph - electronic
activity and sleep study device - the Porcupine. The proposed BadIdeas
technique was introduced to a team of students who work with this sensor and
the existing design was analysed using this technique. The study found that the
BadIdeas technique has promising characteristics that might make it an ideal
tool in the prototyping and design of usability-critical appliances.
