METU/BILTIR-UTEST Product Usability Unit is investigating the effects of remote work conditions caused by COVID-19 pandemic on User Experience (UX) practice, which is an emerging field in Turkey.
The project titled as ‘Developing a Guide for Supporting Remote User Experience Research’ is funded within the scope of TÜBİTAK 1001 – COVID-19 and Society Call.
