Abstract
In this paper, we describe various setups that allow usability professionals to
conduct effective user studies on mobile devices. We describe the factors relevant
when building a solution for mobile device observation and the various designs we
worked with in the Google user experience research environment as we iterated to
meet changing study needs. We highlight a novel setup that is fully portable, can
be used in a usability lab as well as in the field, accommodates a large variety of
different mobile devices, and allows for live observation by product teams around
the world.
