We are recruiting participants to take part in a study to observe how users navigate large spaces to find unoccupied areas using an indoor tracking app. We are recruiting participants from the Dalhousie community who have experience using a Smartphone. Participants should be comfortable walking around with the mobile device for about 20-25 minutes. No technical expertise is required.

The study will be conducted in the Halifax Central Library. You will be provided with a Smartphone to use during the study. You will be video taped while you perform some navigation tasks in the library using the app on the Smartphone. You will be asked to fill a questionnaire and give an interview to find out what you think about the app.

The entire study will take approximately 45-60 minutes and you will be compensated $10(CDN) for your participation in the study.

This study will take place in a public space and therefore we cannot guarantee your anonymity; however, all your data will be treated anonymously and confidentially by not associating your name with any data collected.

If you are interested in participating, please contact Anitha Kumar by email at AnithaKumar@dal.ca.
