چکیده
This paper attempts to explore the issues related to the usability evaluation of spatial-aware mobile systems used for technologically mediating interpersonal and group communication. In this direction, it investigates the applicability of existing usability evaluation methods and principles on spatial-aware mobile systems and presents the results of a multi-method usability evaluation of such a system. The evaluation methodology comprises questionnaires, a word list, focus groups and actual logging of use, in order to evaluate the user experience during field tests with the system. Résumé Cet article essaye d'explorer les issues liées à l'évaluation d’utilisabilité des systèmes mobiles spatial-avertis utilisés pour technologiquement la médiation et la communication interpersonnelle et de groupe. Dans cette direction, il étudie l'applicabilité des méthodes et des principes existants d'évaluation d’utilisabilité sur les systèmes mobiles spatial-avertis et présente les résultats d' une évaluation d’utilisabilité étendue et de multi-méthode d'un tel système. La méthodologie d'évaluation comporte des questionnaires, une liste de mots, des focus groupes et la notation réelle de l'utilisation, afin d'évaluer l'expérience d'utilisateur pendant une série d'essais pratiques avec le système.
