General Instructions The purpose of this questionnaire is to find out how you, as a user, interact with an upcoming mobile application which will be developed as a Master Thesis project. This questionnaire has 22 questions and takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. Your personal identifying information will not be published. Please answer all questions at your best. Further suggestions are always welcome. Thank you for your time! Searching for Smart Objects Imagine that you are in a living room filled with ordinary-everyday-life objects, such as TV set, sofa, table, cupboard, etc. Among these objects, some of them are considered to be “smart”. Currently you are holding a mobile phone along with XApp installed on it. XApp is a mobile application which is able to tell you which objects are “smart” and which are not. How do you search for “smart” objects? Please choose one. By panning the camera through the whole room By getting closer to a particular object and focusing the phone’s camera for a couple of seconds By taking picture of a particular object using the phone’s camera Other Visualization of Smart Objects How do you want XApp to tell you that an object is “smart”? Please choose one. By surrounding the “smart” object you see on the screen with a common colored border By surrounding the "smart" object you see on the screen with a unique colored border By surrounding the "smart" object you see on the screen with a same colored border as other "smart" objects of the same categories By displaying a particular icon nearby the “smart” object using the same icon for every “smart” objects By displaying a particular icon nearby the “smart” object using a unique icon for each “smart” objects By displaying a particular icon nearby the “smart” object using the same icon for every “smart” objects of the same (function) category Other Sometimes a smart object is occluded by other smart objects, other objects, or people and you cannot see it through the phone’s screen. How do you expect XApp to tell you that there is a “smart” object behind other objects? Please choose one. By displaying a dashed colored border along the “smart” object shape By displaying a different colored border along the "smart" object shape By displaying an icon with different color than the normal icon (used in q. 2) nearby the location of the occluded object By displaying the icon more transparent than normal (used in q. 2) nearby the location of the occluded object By displaying an icon different from the normal icon (used in q. 2) nearby the location of the occluded object Other If the “smart” object is out of camera’s view range, how would you like to see them? Please choose one. I do not need to see them at all XApp should indicate them using arrows XApp should indicate using a Halo Other Selection of Smart Object XApp can get information or functions belong to “smart” objects. One example is XApp asks a smart TV set what it can do, the TV set answers that it can play movie, and XApp tells you. At first, you need to choose which “smart” object of which information or functions you want to see. How would you choose a “smart” object which appears on the screen? Please choose one. By touching (the screen) inside the border of the object or touching the icon of the object By pointing the camera to get only the object image and pressing the camera button Other What do you expect to happen after choosing a particular “smart” object? Please choose one. The information and functions are shown on the screen and the screen image freezes. Other Accidentally, you choose the wrong object. What will you do in order to de-select the chosen object and search another object? Please choose one. By choosing the provided button (i.e. “Back”, “Cancel”, “Search Other”) By doing dust-sweeping gesture using finger on the screen By doing X-figure gesture using finger on the screen Other Smart Object Functions “Smart” object functions are represented as menus which you can choose whenever you want to interact with it. For example, a “smart” All-In-One printer has “print”, “scan”, and “copy” as functions/menus. How do you like these menus to be presented? Please choose one. As list items As buttons/icons As list items or buttons/icons (can be changed later) Other How will you navigate through the menus? Please choose one. By using normal keypad buttons By tapping on the screen By utilizing tilting gesture (tilting the phone to the front means navigating the menu upward, etc.) Other Transferring Information between Smart Objects Two “smart” objects can transfer information to each other through XApp. Imagine that XApp can take a song from a “smart” music CD and play it on a “smart” CD player. If the two objects are seen on the screen together, how would you transfer the information from one object to the other? By touching the first object on the screen with finger, dragging the finger to the second object, and releasing the finger Other If two objects are not seen on the screen together, how would you transfer the information from one object to the other? By touching the first object on the screen with finger, moving the phone to the direction of the second object so that the finger touches the second object on the screen, then releasing the finger By focusing the camera on the first object, pressing the camera button, while still pressing moving the phone so that the camera focuses on the second object, then releasing the camera button Other Other Remarks In conclusion, with XApp you can search for “smart” objects and interact with them. What further requirements do you expect from the application? Please give some suggestions, comments, or remarks which are helpful for the development of this project.
