The Wizard of Oz method is an increasingly common practice in HCI and CSCW studies as part of iterative design processes for interactive systems. Instead of designing a fully-fledged system, the 'technical work' of key system components is completed... Read More about Pulling Back the Curtain on the Wizards of Oz.

What Can I Say?: Effects of Discoverability in VUIs on Task Performance and User Experience (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kirschthaler, P., Porcheron, M., & Fischer, J. E. (2020, July). What Can I Say?: Effects of Discoverability in VUIs on Task Performance and User Experience. Presented at CUI '20: 2nd Conference on Conversational User Interfaces, Bilbao Spain

Discoverability, the ability for users to find and execute features through a user interface, is a recurrent problem with Voice User Interface (VUI) design that makes it difficult for users to understand what commands are supported by a newly encount...
