Usability recommendations in the design of mixed interactive systems

Mixed Interactive Systems (MIS) are systems allowing several interaction forms resulting from the fusion between physical and digital worlds. Such systems being relatively new, the underlying design process leading to their design is not entirely defined, particularly in terms of user-centered design. The goal of this paper is to present an approach that attempts to identify, model and integrate available usability knowledge into a user-centered approach for the design of MIS. The approach consisted of: systematic review of the literature on MIS; selection and deciphering of usability recommendations under a common format; classification of the 141 usability recommendations obtained; and application of the recommendations to the design of a MIS case study (museum application).
