Abstract:

The availability of affordable head-mounted display technology has facilitated new, potentially more immersive, interactive multimedia experiences. These technologies were traditionally focused on entertainment; however, academia and industry are now exploring applications in other domains such as health, learning and training. Key to the success of these new multimedia experiences is the understanding of a user’s perceived quality of experience (QoE). Subjective user ratings have been the primary mechanism to capture insights into a user’s experience. Such ratings have generally been captured post experience and reflected using a mean opinion score (MOS). However, user perception is multifactorial and subjective ratings alone do not express the true measure of an experience. As a result, recent efforts to capture QoE have included exploring the use of implicit metrics (e.g., physiological measures). This …
