Abstract
Ubiquitous systems often come with innovative design ideas and interaction concepts. To enhance and ensure the user’s acceptance, it is necessary to test and evaluate those ideas in early design stages. In addition, early tests also validate the feasibility of those concepts. Rapid prototyping of ubiquitous systems enables researchers and practitioners to quickly test and implement new ideas, but is also necessary in iterative system development. We introduce a framework that supports rapid prototyping and evaluation of ubiquitous interactive systems using a modular approach, incorporating different interaction modes.
