The Continuity Property in Mixed Reality and Multiplatform Systems: A Comparative Study

  • Conference paper
Computer-Aided Design of User Interfaces IV

Abstract

Continuity as usability property has been used in mixed reality systems and in multiplatform systems. This paper compares the definitions that have been given to the concept in both fields. Continuity is then given in a consolidated definition.
