Interesting article. It focuses on in-person testing. I'm wondering
what kind of experience you have had with remote testing? This is
pretty easy to do with UserVue and a telephone.
We have done it with the test moderator in one location, observers in
another and the test participant at his or her home or work computer.
It worked fairly well except that the observers tended to goof off
after a bit. They were listening in on a conference call and watching
the user's screen on a monitor.

the equipment that I could possibly need?
My opinion: Usability labs are a senseless waste of glass and
furniture.
