Usability Study

• DORIS researchers walk a set path through the workplace once every hour
• The usability study takes place during the workplace’s standard business hours over 2 weeks unless special days or time requirements have already been established with the leadership team
• Data is recorded at spaces including workstations, offices, meeting rooms, and common areas
• Between rounds of walking the path, researchers sit at a home base location
