  • Abstract
    User studies usually involve much organization and manual labor. Even when performed correctly, a common problem of the studies is user bias. This occurs when participating users´ knowledge of the study influences their actions. Another problem is the willingness of the users to participate at all. Finally, participants will always have privacy concerns. We have developed a framework to help with anonymized user studies, trying to solve the aforementioned problems. We have prepared a demo to show the effectiveness of our system.
