A Framework for Usability Evaluation of Mobile Mixed Reality Games

This research establishes a decision-making framework designed to assist usability experts in selecting appropriate evaluation methods for Mobile Mixed Reality Games (MMRGs).

• The ARGUEMENT framework provides a structured decision-making tool to select usability evaluation methods based on specific game variables like session duration, player count, and physical activity levels.
• Combining interaction logs with audio diaries is more efficient than retrospective think-aloud sessions, yielding a higher volume of usability issues with less intensive effort.
• Heuristic evaluation serves as a baseline for comparison, but most alternative methods perform statistically comparably while offering different qualitative benefits.
