ABSTRACT
Large interactive wall displays for multi-user interaction are readily available today. However, little is known about the specific aspects influencing usability for applications supporting several users interacting simultaneously and co-located with wall displays. Our research aims to name these aspects and develop a set of usability guidelines for this type of applications. These guidelines should support designers and developers in the design phase and ensure a high usability of the application. In order to archive this, we analyse literature and conduct usability studies. In this paper we present a first set of usability guidelines derived from literature focusing on aspects specific to multi-user interaction. One example is to consider bystanders, offer those who are not directly interacting valuable information and ensure readability for them.

Usability Guidelines for Co-Located Multi-User Interaction on Wall Displays
ITS '15: Proceedings of the 2015 International Conference on Interactive Tabletops & SurfacesToday interactive wall displays can be widely seen in industry and research. Due to their size, these displays offer the opportunity for several users to interact co-located and simultaneously. An application supporting multi-user interaction has to be ...
Using Personal Devices to Facilitate Multi-user Interaction with Large Display Walls
UIST '15 Adjunct: Adjunct Proceedings of the 28th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software & TechnologyLarge display walls and personal devices such as Smartphones have complementary characteristics. While large displays are well-suited to multi-user interaction (potentially with complex data), they are inherently public and generally cannot present an ...
A direct touch table-top display as a multi-user information kiosk: Comparing the usability of a single display groupware either by a single user or people cooperating as a group
This study aimed to investigate the usability of a direct touch table-top display (D3TD) application that was designed to be used as a multi-user information kiosk (MUIK). We examined its use by either a single person or multiple user groups to ...
