Inside the CETpD facilities there is the “4all-L@b”, a usability laboratory integrated in the design and development team. The purpose of 4all-L@b is provide relevant information about users expectations, capabilities and preferences, in order to ensure that products and services would meet end users –and other stakeholders- functional and affective needs. The 4all-L@b incorporates user’s experience feedback in the process of contextual product and services development. The laboratory is equipped with specific instrumentation and software for non-intrusive observation and analysis of behaviour and interaction sequences in laboratory and in the field. The laboratory is specialised in testing and assessment of interactive assistive technologies for promoting independent living of elderly people and disabled people.
