This ARTI project is the first of two planned phases. The first phase will focus on the development of our tools and AR&ED processes pertaining to UX design and evaluation within our current facilities. A second phase is planned to enhance our infrastructure.** We request funding to purchase tools that will enhance our capacity to perform user experience (UX) design and evaluation services that have been requested by our industrial partners. UX is a broad area comprised of research and practical methods spanning human-computer interaction, usability analysis, human factors and ergonomics, and user-centred design. UX design and evaluation methodologies are used to develop of products and services that people can use safely, easily, and effectively. Over forty years of research and practice has shown that proper utilization of UX methodologies is a necessary component of successful innovation.** UX design and evaluation services are critical to (1) helping our NSERC-IRCC partners and other organizations identify potential user interaction and problem-solving capabilities offered by new UX technologies; and (2) to helping them identify and address serious design challenges posed by new UX technologies. As new UX technologies emerge, AR&ED activities are also required to develop design principles for their effective use, including the identification of tolerances, design parameters, risks, and other unforeseeable design issues. NBCC-MU must have tools to maintain a vigilant and continuous program of AR&ED to help companies (1) invalidate new UX technologies or (2) validate and leverage them successfully within their product and service development programs. The tools requested in this proposal will help the NBCC-MU meet these needs.** The principal investigator (PI) for this project, William McIver Jr., is NSERC Industrial Research Chair in Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing (NSERC-IRCC) at New Brunswick Community College (NBCC).********

该 ARTI 项目是两个计划阶段中的第一阶段。第一阶段将重点开发与我们现有设施内的用户体验设计和评估相关的工具和 AR&ED 流程。第二阶段计划增强我们的基础设施。**我们请求资金来购买工具，以增强我们执行工业合作伙伴要求的用户体验 (UX) 设计和评估服务的能力。用户体验是一个广泛的领域，由研究和实践方法组成，涵盖人机交互、可用性分析、人为因素和人体工程学以及以用户为中心的设计。用户体验设计和评估方法用于开发人们可以安全、轻松、有效地使用的产品和服务。四十多年的研究和实践表明，正确利用用户体验方法是成功创新的必要组成部分。**用户体验设计和评估服务对于以下方面至关重要：(1) 帮助我们的 NSERC-IRCC 合作伙伴和其他组织识别新用户体验技术提供的潜在用户交互和解决问题的能力； (2) 帮助他们识别和解决新用户体验技术带来的严峻设计挑战。随着新的用户体验技术的出现，AR&ED 活动还需要制定设计原则以使其有效使用，包括识别公差、设计参数、风险和其他不可预见的设计问题。 NBCC-MU 必须拥有工具来维持 AR&ED 计划的警惕性和持续性，以帮助公司 (1) 使新的 UX 技术失效或 (2) 在其产品和服务开发计划中成功验证和利用它们。本提案中要求的工具将帮助 NBCC-MU 满足这些需求。** 该项目的首席研究员 (PI) William McIver Jr. 是新不伦瑞克社区学院 (NBCC) 的移动和普适计算 (NSERC-IRCC) NSERC 工业研究主席。********
