Popis: Interactive systems are no longer expected to be used in confined and predefined places. By increasingly taking advantage of the physical environment, interactive systems are becoming mixed, that is, merging physical and digital worlds. Moreover, they support user’s mobility and thus can be referred to as “mobile mixed systems.” To overcome technology-driven development processes and to take into account their physical nature and mobile dimensions, specific design approaches are required. From this perspective, we present the interweaving of an existing design model (ASUR) for mixed systems, and a 3-D environment (SIMBA) for simulating modelled mobile mixed system. The aims are to support the investigation of mobile mixed system design through the dedicated modelling approach, and to better understand the limit of the modelled solutions through their simulation. This constitutes a first step toward an iterative method of design for mobile mixed systems, based on “midfidelity” prototyping.
