WHAT
WE DID
User Testing
Awards Invision 1999
ID Magazine 1999 |
Our
multi-player user studies and recommendations
helped Sony design better games. Needing
to know how online contestants might behave,
Sony asked us to user test their multi-player
game shows where we ran up to four observations
simultaneously. |
 |
Jeopardy
Online: Simultaneous observations offered new
insights into multi-player game play and opportunities
to make the games more engaging. |
 |
Wheel
of Fortune Online: We found that group interaction
dramatically changes game play patterns, pacing,
and the way users interact. Sometimes it becomes
the main attraction. |
 |
The
Dating Game Online & Trivia Pursuit: Refinements
made over two years of testing helped Sony Online
perfect the multi-player online game show experience. |

Cinema in Industry 2000 |
We
made interacting with 500 issues as MAD as the
magazine itself. |
 |
Wanting
more than a reference product, The Learning Company
asked us to design the interaction MAD magazine
fans were clamoring for. So to start we let them
browse every cover. |
 |
Once
inside our flexible viewing tools let users flip,
fold, spin, panic, and link to "more garbage
like this." They can read the magazine nearly
any way they want (where permissible by law). |
 |
Wacky
search interface makes finding all Movie Parodies
featuring Spam, a piece of cake. |
 |
Direct
access to animated, audio delights from "the
usual gang of idiots." |

Our
streamlined interface made the #1 beauty software
even easier to use. |
 |
Broderbund
turned to XEODesign to make the sequel to the
product that blew open the women's software market
as easy as 1, 2, 3. |
 |
Our
new interface allowed instant access to over
500 different hair cuts in 22 colors to match
a user's face shape, personality, and lifestyle. |
 |
Without
switching screens, the interface offers users
no fuss access to hundreds of cosmetics, hats,
glasses, even bridal veils to go with their new
look. They can even save their favorites. |
 |
A
beauty advisor helps users select from thousands
of makeover options. |

We
made the most advanced CD burning software for
the Mac even easier than Toast. |
|
Roxio,
Adaptec’s new software company, hired
us to improve Toast's legendary ease of use
to capture the exploding market for CD recording. |
 |
XEODesign's
visually crisp and almost transparent screen
art enhances Toast's redesigned nearly effortless
CD creation process. |
 |
Large
friendly tabs give beginning users easy access
to the CD formats they use the most. |
 |
Advanced
features remain equally accessible to the professional. |
