Gesture Elicitation and Usability Testing for an Armband Interacting with Netflix and Spotify

Abstract:

Controlling home entertainment devices, like music and video, via an armband could free the user from using remote controls, but assessing their overall usability with mid-air and micro-gestures still represents an open research question today. For this purpose, this paper reports on results gained by jointly conducting and comparing two studies involving participants using a Thalmic Myo armband to control a NetFlix SmartTV and Spotify: (1) a gesture elicitation study to explore a richer set of user-defined gestures, to measure their effectiveness and the user subjective satisfaction of gesture interaction; (2) a System Usability Scale (SUS) to assess the overall usability of this setup and the subjective satisfaction for user-defined gestures.
