Abstract

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) provides various opportunities to increase the productivity of retail business. In this paper, we describe a usability evaluation study for an RFID-based location tracking application, called Beep-To-The-Box (BTTB). The experiment was conducted in a simulated retail store to gain in-depth understanding of the usefulness and usability of the prototype in determining visual and audio user interface features. We describe the features of the BTTB, report the experimental results, and discuss insights gained to provide design recommendations for the final product design.
