Studying user experiences of autostereoscopic 3D menu on touch screen mobile device

In this paper we present findings from a user experience evaluation of a first generation autostereoscopic 3D menu on a mobile phone. The aim of this paper was to discover users' preferences for S3D menus on a mobile touch screen device, with the intent that the results can be used for future designs. In the evaluation we used methods such as interviews, observations and adjective card selections. The positive adjective selections made by users related to user experience qualities such as visually pleasant, entertaining, fun, innovative and empowering. The negative adjective selections made by users related to usability aspects such as uncontrollable, unclear and time-consuming. Also, users did not see the benefit of using an autostereoscopic 3D for the user interface under evaluation. According to them, S3D could bring value by empowering new ways of interacting with touch screen mobile devices.
