Abstract

In the nearly 20 years of the existence of the UWTC Laboratory for Usability Testing and Evaluation (LUTE), our overriding goal has been to put people first in product design. In working toward this goal, we have always faced the same four challenges: to educate students through practice, change how companies and organizations design products, advance the state of the art in usability research, and stay at the cutting edge. This talk will take a brief tour of LUTE's efforts to meet this goal and address these challenges, with snapshots of typical projects and the people who worked on them; will mention some of the current work under way in the lab; and will close with some thoughts about LUTE's future and how it might articulate with that of our field.
