Abstract

This paper focuses on a multidimensional approach for evaluating multimodal UI based upon a set of well known techniques for usability evaluation. Each technique evaluates the problem from a different perspective which combines user opinion, standard conformity assessment, and user performance measurement. The method's presentation and the evaluation analysis will be supported by a discussion of the results obtained from the method's application to a case study involving a Smartphone. The main objective of the study was to investigate the need for adapting a multidimensional evaluation approach for desktop applications to the context of multimodal devices and applications.
