What is user research?

  • User research means observing how people interact with products and services.
  • We look for what works well, what is confusing, and what could be improved.
  • There are no right or wrong answers. We are focused on understanding the experience, not evaluating you.

Where research happens

Research studies take place in different settings depending on the project. Many participants are surprised by how easy and low-pressure it is.

In-lab

Sessions may take place at a research lab in a comfortable, controlled environment. A researcher will walk you through each step and answer any questions along the way.

Remote

Many studies can be completed remotely using your phone, desktop, or laptop devices. Participate from anywhere with a strong internet connection, no travel required.

Simulated environments

Some studies take place in simulated labs designed to mirror real-world settings such as hospitals, clinics, or living rooms. These spaces allow us to observe how products are used in realistic scenarios while maintaining a controlled setup.

In-home

Some studies take place in homes, where products are used in real-life settings. This helps us understand how things fit into everyday routines and environments.

In-vehicle

Automotive studies take place in a vehicle to better understand real-world use while driving or riding. Sessions are structured, safe, and focused on how systems perform on-the-road.
