To be able to know if this will happen or the product has enough guessability tothe user wait longer, an interview will be carried out after the first use.LEARNABILITYA fact stressed by nearly all the people making studies with touch screens is theimportance of familiarity with the device and with the haptic feedback introducedinto the device to fully realize if the haptic feedback has any benefit for the user. Sothat is why learnability is the most important component of usability for this study.Regarding a regular use for this device, a car driver would get some tips fromthe seller of how to use the device but mostly of the functioning would be self taughtand it should be easy to learn in order to be useful to the driver.The study should then be done after some training with the device with andwithout haptic feedback. And the interview after the test will regard learnabilityconcepts.EXPERIENCE USER PERFORMANCE (EUP)This component of usability will not be tested in this project because large amount oftime and resources will be necessary in order to set EUP. Nonetheless it will beinteresting in further works to test it.A remarkable fact about EUP is that drivers use the same car for several yearsso even if the time to arrive to EUP is long they are highly probable to reach it. Andafter reaching that EUP if a norm to design haptic feedback is followed in futureworks, products will benefit from experience as an advantageous effect of usercharacteristics.SYSTEM POTENTIALSystem potential cannot be evaluated in a short period of time because theimportance of it is in relation of EUP. So as with EUP it will be interesting to test it infuture work to see if system potential is limiting EUP.RE-USABILITYFor all the spontaneous users it will be necessary to test re-usability but also it isbecause a matter of lack of time that this is not treated in this study<strong>Design</strong> of the usability studyHere there is a resume of the steps followed in a usability study.FIRST QUESTIONNAIREWhen a participant comes to the laboratory to join the study, it will be asked to fill ina participant characteristic form. This questionnaire could be found in the appendixII. The characteristics asked are the following:o Sexo Ageo Since when he or she got driving license?o How often does he or she drives a car?51
