Abstract

We selected some user-based evaluation methods for use with school children to evaluate our Tangible User Interface (TUI) prototype. We aimed to evaluate mainly the usability of the prototype, and also fun and educational design. The evaluations were carried out in different environments. We found location of the study and disposition of the space play important roles; selection of the participants is also important
