5.1 Prototype and Version 1.0
The original prototype, shown in figure 13, was created as a proof of concept. It was made to
show how the various guidelines set by Yanco et al. [2004] and described in section 1.1, would be
put into affect. Version 1.0, shown in figure 14, introduced a fully functional version of the
interface that was used in two studies.

A usability study is a formal test where representative users perform typical tasks under realistic conditions.
Our experiments differed only in the fact that, in most of the experiments, the users were not USAR experts.
