App for Dynamic Crowdsourced QoE Studies of HTTP Adaptive Streaming on Mobile Devices

This demonstration introduces CroQoE, a new app for crowdsourced QoE studies of HTTP Adaptive Streaming. The app is running on the mobile device of the study participant and connects to a backend server to control the subjective QoE study. As video content is a crucial QoE factor, the proposed app allows the participant to submit keywords for topics or contents, which videos he wants to watch during the study. Matching videos are retrieved and prepared on the backend server, and the test conditions are included. Thereby, the user is able to watch interesting and relevant content during the QoE study.
