The design at scale 1:1 could be part of the solution. In this paper, we present the results of two user studies and one technology review, exploring the usability of popular, desktop-optimized prototyping tools, for designing at scale on Wall-Sized Displays. We considered two wall-sized display setups, and three different interaction methods: touch, a keyboard equipped with a touchpad, and a tablet. We observed that designing at scale 1:1 was appreciated. Tablet-based interaction proved to be the most comfortable interaction method, and a mix of interaction modalities is promising. In addition, care must be given to the surrounding environment, such as furniture. We propose twelve design guidelines for a design tool dedicated to this specific context. Overall, existing user interface design tools do not yet fully support design on and for wall-sized displays and require further considerations in terms of placement of user interface elements and the provision of additional features.","short_abstract":"Wall-Sized Displays have spatial characteristics that are difficult to address during user interface design.
