The HCI Browser can present tasks to users,
administer pre- and post-task questionnaires
using a variety of question types, and collect
event data while the user searches and browses
the web.
The HCI Browser (HCIB) is being developed by
Rob Capra
at the
Interaction Design Lab
in the
School of Information and Library Science
at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
