    The usability is being considered an incisive factor of the application´s success of mobile computation segment, it is based on user experience conception limitation, so any techniques, method or idea which could improve the mobile user experience, must be carefully studied. The Vaire tool uses Mandos method of interaction for infrastructure support and together they propose a new interaction form founded on the fact that the way of using an embedded application in a mobile phone varies in accordance to the user. The Vaire is a visual tool for improvement of Mandos usage experience in an application, adapting the same in agreement with user´s will, giving the user interface design power to the most interested one: the user.
