This deliverable represents the first iteration of an on-going set of activities aimed at identifying the best practices of virtual museums regarding portability, usability and integration.This defines a scaffold of criteria useful for the evaluation of portability (intended as multi-fruition modes), tangible visualisation and interaction techniques of the best examples carried out under the V-MusT.NET consortium.

The final goal is to produce guidelines and indications on how to create a good portable application or an effective tangible interactive application, disconnected from the physical location. Therefore, a cross-analysis on parameters such as “usability”, “portability” and “integration” had been set up, taking advantages of recent experiences in the field of tangible and gesture-based interaction projects in immersive installations.
