Abstract

The current paper presents an evaluation study of a multimodal mobile entertainment system. Aim of the study was to investigate the effect of the usage mode (explorative vs. task-oriented) on the perceived quality. In one condition the participants were asked to perform specific tasks (task-oriented mode) and in another to do “whatever they want to do with the device”. It was shown that the explorative test setting result in better ratings than the task-oriented.
