Overview

Literature in the field of human–computer interaction (HCI) has shown a long tradition of evaluation methods for and along with interactive systems design. We have experienced in the last years an impressive development in ubiquitous and pervasive systems, motivated by technological development, low cost of sensors and actuators, and a rise in the maker culture for the construction of computational systems. While such systems naturally inherit methods for evaluating the user interaction from previous interaction paradigms, it is not clear whether they reach specificities of the interaction of people within ubiquitous and pervasive systems scenarios. This work aimed at shedding light on this subject by conducting a systematic literature review on ubiquitous and pervasive technology scenarios of interactive installations. Results have shown that most of the selected contributions use classical methods of data collection and analysis, and combinations of these methods. Analysis of results also points out some new aspects to be considered in evaluation methods, regarding the human (social) actions promoted or afforded by ubiquitous and pervasive systems.
