DELTA SenseLab provides Sensory Evaluation services to technological companies for whom the end-user perception of the product and its quality is important. SenseLab focuses on the perception associated with a product's sound, visual and haptic characteristics.

The types of solutions that can be provided using Sensory Evaluation techniques include:

What are the key perceptual characteristics of your product, both positive and negative?
How are these influenced by the usage situation?
What is the impact of the environmental conditions (backgroundnoise, lighting, etc.)?
How can these characteristics be quantified and how can they be communicated (to engineering, management, etc.)?
How do these characteristics relate to consumer needs and preference?
Is there more than one type of user groups and what are their perceptual needs?
Estimation of the target performance characteristics for a given user group/product type.

We can also provide you with standardised testing for your speech or audio codecs, for example using standard methods such as ITU-T BS.1116-1 or ITU-R BS.1534 or many others.

DELTA provides Sensory Evaluation services to take companies to a new level of understanding in terms of end-user perception.
