This deliverable represents the first iteration of an on-going set of activities aimed at identifying the best practices of virtual museums regarding portability, usability and integration. This defines a scaffold of criteria useful for the evaluation of portability (intended as multi­-fruition modes), tangible visualisation and interaction techniques of the best examples carried out under the V­-MusT.NET consortium. The final goal is to produce guidelines and indications on how to create a good portable application or an effective tangible interactive application, disconnected from the physical location.Therefore, a cross­-analysis on parameters such as “usability”, “portability” and“ integration” had been setup, taking advantages of recent experiences in the field of tangible and gesture­based interaction projects in immersive installations.
