Context Awareness and Perceived Interactivity in Multimedia Computing

Context awareness and perceived interactivity are two factors that might benefit mobile multimedia computing. This research takes mobile TV advertisements as a scenario and verifies the impacts of perceived interactivity and its interaction with context awareness. Seventy-two participants were recruited and an experiment was conducted in order to identify those impacts. The main findings indicated the following: (1) the effect of high perceived interactivity advertisement is significantly better than the effect of low perceived interactivity advertisement; (2) the interaction of context awareness and perceived interactivity has a significant influence on the effect of mobile TV advertising.
