1. What is the visibility space in the interface?

2. Percentage of the usability interface?

A method for developing user interfaces by refining them iteratively over several versions is presented. Each iteration is subjected to user testing or other usability-evaluation methods designed to uncover usability problems. This method not only eliminates problems of this nature, but also allows designers to take advantage of any insights into user needs that emerge from the tests. The author describes four case studies where the median improvement in overall usability from the first to the last iteration was 165%, and the median improvement per iteration was 38%.


3. How many users prefer the navigation icons on the right top / left top / center / bottom?
If the majority of apps are doing it on the left top side, then go with that. It's very much like how a lot of phones, even though different companies, apply the same mechanics for touch screens (tap once to open an app, instead of twice, or even swiping at it).



Additionally, as research points out the left side is better because it's much easier to stretch out, then to compress (less balance that way in the hand from what I found).
