The simplest way is to show the users a set of emot-icons e.g. *:)* (happy), *:| *(neutral), *:( *(sad), *:s *(yucks!, bad), *:p *(oops!, confusing), etc. Ofcourse this has to graphically treated (try yahoo or msn icons). Once the user completes a task, he/she can circle/tick the appropriate task i mmediately .
Using video recording and later analyzing their facial expressions during their tasks is the best and safest method. Keep in mind the 'Think Aloud' approach. But one needs to understand a bit of human physcology/ emotions to factually capture the data. Oh, it can be tiresome too. cheers, Rony Philip Associate Manager, User Experience Group Accenture On 11/2/07, Juan Ruiz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > For clarity, could you tell us whether you're looking for something > that provides feedback in real time the way, say, a lie-detector might > work? > > > > Yes, I'm looking for something in real time, rather than asking the user > at the end of the test what they thought of the application.
