Large interactive wall displays for multi-user interaction are readily available today. However, little is known about the specific aspects influencing usability for applications support- ing several users interacting simultaneously and co-located with wall displays. Our research aims to name these aspects and develop a set of usability guidelines for this type of applications. These guidelines should support designers and developers in the design phase and ensure a high usability of the application. In order to archive this, we analyse literature and conduct usability studies. In this paper we present a first set of usability guidelines derived from literature focusing on as- pects specific to multi-user interaction. One example is to consider bystanders, offer those who are not directly interacting valuable information and ensure readability for them.    «
