A matlab-based tool usability evaluation for 3d reconstruction environments

Abstract

The way in which a graphical interface interacts with the user is a factor that could generate a high learning curve and affects its management and operation. In this sense, it is necessary to evaluate the user’s interaction in order to apply some technics that let improve the interface functionalities. In this work, is described the usability evaluation of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for 3D reconstruction in order to improve the user experience. To perform this reconstruction, the GUI developed in MATLAB allow the user to choose among three depth sensors: Kinect V1, V2 and Zed Stereo camera. The data acquired is shown as a point cloud and can be manipulated using several options. The results of the usability evaluation enable the implementation of changes to the graphic interface to improve the user interaction.
