English abstract:
Interactive Mixed Reality installations combine multimedia with novel multimodal
interaction techniques. As an example of mixed reality environments the "Sensoric
Garden" - seven installations shown during a festival in Bremen - are described. As this
kind of event cannot be evaluated in terms of usability or effectiveness, we need other
categories to assess the attractiveness or "joy of use" of installations. Categories from the
discourse on interaction design and interactivity were found helpful for a design reflection
into why some installations were an "interactive success" and others failed to meet
expectations and received little visitor attention.
