Fraps Interface Project
 

Hello all, I’m studying interaction and usability at uni and as part of this I need to redesign an interface. I’ve chosen fraps because of its simplicity and now I need to do some data gathering. Would really appreciate it if anyone out there who uses fraps could answer the questions below.

Fraps Interface Questionnaire
In order to improve the Fraps interface data needs to be collected about who uses the program, how they use it and what they use it for.
