摘要介绍了一个荷兰研究项目的一个重要方面：为地理移动应用程序的原型开发一种适当的基于现场的可用性评估方法，这将是以用户为中心的设计方法的结果。自动概括是原型的一个重要方面，这不仅是用户在空间中定位所需的，也是渐进数据传输所需的。这里报道的是一种基于视频观察、发声思考和半结构化访谈相结合的有效且技术独特的用户研究方法。导致这一结果的实验揭示了一些有趣的可用性问题，值得进一步研究。
Abstract An important aspect of a Dutch research project into usable (and well scaled) mobile maps for consumers is presented: the development of an appropriate field-based usability evaluation methodology for the prototype of a geo-mobile application that will be the result of a user centred design approach. Automatic generalisation, required for the user's orientation in space, but also for progressive data transfer, will be an important aspect of the prototype. What is reported here is an effective and technically unique user research methodology, based on a combination of video observation, thinking aloud and semi-structured interviewing. The experiments that have led to this outcome revealed some interesting usability issues that deserve further investigation.
