“…Also, Joyce and Lilley [12] stated in its heuristic # 12 that ''Use the camera, microphone and sensors when appropriate to lessen the user's workload''. Korhonon [23] in its first heuristic stated that ''camera behaves correctly'', and also proposed four heuristics related with ''context aware'' playability [49]. Humayoun et al [14] also asked for ''cognitive load'' in its 10th heuristic.…”

Emerging development trends in smartphone computing assist the user to enhance skills, health improvement, earning opportunities, sharing ideas, providing entertainment, and so on. Appropriate transfer of these assistances demands a vibrant appearance to a smartphone user. End users emphasize easy-to-use, ergonomics, efficiency, and visual aesthetic, among others. Measuring usability issues allows for improving these features. An inspection-based heuristics set identifies the usability issues for improving the quality of smartphone interfaces. Using suitable heuristics is highly relevant. In this paper, we present an extended and relevant set of 14 Usability Heuristics for Smartphone (EUHSA) application, where 13 heuristics were selected after cross-linking the identified usability flaws with the previously proposed heuristics through a user study with 800 students from a human-computer interaction course. An additional heuristic is proposed against uncaptured usability flaws. Furthermore, the EUHSA was validated using an expert evaluation study. Findings were compared with the previously proposed Joyce and SMASH sets of heuristics. The results explicitly justify the EUHSA and prove its effectiveness in evaluating the usability issues.INDEX TERMS Human-computer interaction, usability experts, smartphone applications, heuristic evaluation, user interfaces.

“…In [11] the authors evaluated how people perceive and play a pervasive game in normal, everyday settings. In [6] and [13] a number of issues (e.g., handle uncertainty, architecture, orchestration) related to the designing of pervasive games are considered. In general, most works focus on the design issues raised by specific games.…”

We present here Fun in Numbers (FinN, http://finn.cti.gr), a framework for developing pervasive applications and interactive installations for entertainment and educational purposes. Using ad hoc mobile wireless sensor network nodes as the enabling devices, FinN allows for the quick prototyping of applications that utilize input from multiple physical sources (sensors and other means of interfacing), by offering a set of programming templates and services, such as topology discovery, localization and synchronization, that hide the underlying complexity. We present the target application domains of FinN, along with a set of multiplayer games and interactive installations. We describe the overall architecture of our platform and discuss some key implementation issues of the application domains. Finally, we present the experience gained by deploying the applications developed with our platform. © ACM 2009
