Abstract

This paper presents the design and comparison of a mouse-based interaction technique (hereafter IT) and two advanced IT, used in public spaces to support navigation in a 3D space. The comparison is based on a composite evaluation, including performance and satisfaction aspects. These preliminary results demonstrate that the use of mixed IT in a public space do not result in more differences among user than a mouse-based IT. It also highlights the fact that performance and satisfaction have to be considered simultaneously since they appear to be two complementary aspects of an evaluation, especially in public space environment, where the performance is no longer the only dimension to consider.
