Graphical user interface interaction interview (GUI-ii), is a recently purposed method in which designers can remotely co-design and review GUI prototypes by eliminating the need for physical presence of co-designers. However, there are some concerns regarding the accuracy of such remote interview methods, as users do not have any physical interaction with the designers during their interview. In this work, for the first time, we compare GUI-ii methods with the traditional face-to-face interview processes to study their effectiveness in various design phases. The result shows that GUI-ii method is most effective when used in Ozlab.
