Abstract

This study’s aim is to improve existing methodology for users’ evaluation that performs tasks in environment observation. We examine a new user's monitoring system and analyze for monitoring users’ behavior in more complex and dynamic work environments with more than one user. Making more possibilities using by quantitative ways, we also perform object tracking using RFID and four video cameras. We designed smart floor monitoring system tracking user's movement through variation of pressure sensors. The system is installed in an observation room in where is simulated a take-out coffee shop for verification the utility of the proposed new monitoring system for this study. After analyzing data of monitoring users’ behavior, we analyze correlation referring to the users from user's movements and action.

Keywords: USER BEHAVIOR MONITORING SYSTEM; USABILITY TEST; SMART FLOOR; RFID
