A Preliminary Usability and Universal Design Evaluation of a Television App User Interface

Abstract

This paper details a two-part evaluation of the Apple TV user interface. A Heuristic Evaluation and an evaluation using the seven universal design principles were carried out. The overall results showed that the Apple TV user interface has various failings in the design for users of diverse kinds. Suggestions for ways forward include designers using more rigorously the ISO standards and well established user interface design guidelines.
