Abstract:
In this paper, we discuss user experience (UX) with an interactive installation that we have developed in order to study its relation to physical space where the installation is used. The installation utilizes Kinect motion sensor to provide movement based, single or multi user, interactions with graphical and sound interfaces. The installation was tested in various settings, including private interactions in the lab, and public space interactions in a library and a museum. Our findings show that for an open, explorative kind of interactions such as ours, spaces where one is expected to explore, e.g., a Maker Faire or a museum, provide for the longest and most pleasurable interactions with the installation.
