Description of the goods or services required

The second phase of procurement for the ATIC UX Laboratory is focussed on the delivery of a permanent but adaptable multi room system that will be able to capture user data and experience in the three laboratory environments outlined above.

The second phase of procurement also includes integration of these systems with the suite of ‘mobile’ systems procured in phase one, which will provide a fully integrated facility for observational studies, psychophysiological measurement, motion analysis, real and virtual eye tracking, 3D scanning and user data capture. This will be supported by an advanced prototyping facility.
