The process of creating interactive and behavioral installations brings both a phenomenological evaluation of visitors' experience and a kinetic analysis of their path through the interactive installation.
The interactive and immersive work of See me through you aims in particular at creating an original and rich multiuser experience where awakening of sensibility, hedonism and social share live together. Here, we explore the possibilities of multidimensional evaluation of visitors' experience through discussion groups and motion analyses. We face the results to path predictions guessed during the design of Vois moi à travers toi and displayed in the following simulation.

At la Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie, from March 17th to October 11th 2016, we were able to test on several hundreds of people the original multi-visitor experience offered by Vois moi à travers toi.
In See me through you, a deep universe displays gently on a 100 m2 projection surface (central cylinder and walls). The visitor goes through without considering it. The visitor stops briefly. He sits down, plays, revitalizes. The visitor discovers the galaxy that follows another one. The visitor discovers his galaxy. The visitor tries to recognize himself in this galaxy, tame it, don't want to lost it. The visitor is this galaxy that goes through the deep universe, that meets other galaxies (other visitors). The visitor goes. He turns around the central cylinder. He discovers spectacular effects. The visitor goes back to his galaxy. He plays with the effects displayed by the central cylinder. The visitor tame it. Not really in fact. An other visitor plays also on the opposite side of the cylinder. The two visitors look at themselves, tame themselves without really knowing it. They discover themselves, explore distorsions, interactions. The visitors discover. They see through themselves.
We proposed a focus group evaluation and a questionary after a three minutes interaction with Vois moi à travers toi for a group of 4 to 6 visitors. Motion follow-up of visitors with Kinect® sensors enable a quantitative analysis still in progress. As shown in the first results above, this experiment on visitor's experience will give the trajectories taken by each visitor/galaxy in Vois moi à travers toi depending on what happens inside: events and interactivity between everyone.
