Acceptance and Usability of Physical Mobile Applications.
Tanja Herting, Gregor Broll · 2008
Physical mobile applications use mobile devices for the interaction with everyday objects to facilitate the interaction with associated information and services. In order to be able to assess their acceptance, usability and interaction design in a systematic way, this paper suggests different categories of physical mobile applications according to common use cases and patterns of interaction with physical objects. A user study was conducted with low-fidelity paper-prototypes to evaluate them. The results will be used for the definition of guidelines and best practices for the development of common physical mobile applications.
