Evaluating Habituation Effect on Conversational Voice Control in Home Network System

The voice control is an easy and effective method to operate heterogeneous devices in the home network system (HNS). However, as the user is getting used to the interface, too much feedback from the system annoy the user and decline the usability. In this paper, we empirically evaluate the habituation effect on the voice control in the HNS. Specifically, we characterize the habituation effect by the time since the system begins the feedback until the user issues the next command. Based on the empirical study, we consider a voice feedback method that adapts the individual habituation.
