1 In the AUGUR project we aim at augmenting existing user in2 terfaces with proactive and multimodal features to enhance the 3 overall usability of the application. In this paper, we present a 4 process for interface evaluation. The process consists of four 5 steps and relies on leveraging existing tools for realizing each 6 step. These tools can highly automate the data gathering step 7 in the...
