Abstract

Fifty-eight people used a mobile phone/near-to-eye display combination with three different applications: movie viewing, game playing, and reading. After a 40-min immersion period participants completed several questionnaires related to the usage experience, comfort, workload, and individual features. We found many differences in user experiences between tasks as well as a number of associations between individual factors and experiences reported. Participants' opinions on the near-to-eye display/mobile phone combination were generally positive, and several benefits were reported: namely, a more engrossing experience and longer use time in the future. We also compared experiences from mobile phone/near-to-eye display setups to mobile phone and TV usage.
