MulseBox: Portable Multisensory Interactive Device

This paper presents MulseBox, a new multisensory interactive device, which can simulate real-life situations in order to help learning and transfer of learning in daily-life. Indeed, multisensory interaction is known to improve learning performances. MulseBox can easily be enriched with real objects and virtual objects. It is evolving. MulseBox was designed because the literature highlighted the lack of a unique multisensory device to work on common problematics. Indeed, six disciplines at least are investigating multisensory with the shared secondary objectives to increase users’ Quality of Experience and to design for all (that is taking disabilities into account). MulseBox may also be a test-bed for researchers to solve identified problematics. An exploratory evaluation of acceptability showed promising results which make us think that MulseBox is relevant.
