Abstract
This paper presents a formative multi-method evaluation on future gaming systems. Following a scenario-driven approach, quantitative and qualitative methods are employed to elicit feedback from different target user populations. Based on the results of the different evaluation parts, a set of design requirements for future home entertainment systems is derived. These requirements are then used to guide the development process of a ubiquitous computing gaming platform. To demonstrate the usefulness of the gaming platform, a sample application is discussed, which is described in the last section of this paper.
