Plateforme d'utilisabilité/usage MultiCom: objectifs, réalisation, usages et retours d'expérience

Abstract

This article describes the design approach and experience gained when implementing an original usability laboratory: the MultiCom platform. The purpose of this platform is the evaluation of the usability and usage of a wide range of interactive systems: from classic systems to ubiquitous environments. For this, the platform was designed as a large theater where acts could be played. The relevance of the design choices (surface, ground plane, automation) was validated through several experiments that were successfully carried out on the platform.
