“…Participants have been screened for handicaps (i.e., visual, audio, epilepsy) through a questionnaire and excluded if necessary. As stimuli, we used four 720p and 10s long video sequences (taken from [15]); two sports (Berrecloth and Pastranas) and action (2012 and Tron) video sequences, respectively. Figure 1 provides an overview of the video sequences showing its intensities and distribution of wind and vibration effects over time.…”

Enriching multimedia with additional effects such as olfaction, light, wind, or vibration is gaining more and more momentum in both research and industry. Hence, there is the need to determine the influence of individual effects on the Quality of Experience (QoE). In this paper, we present a subjective quality assessment using the MPEG-V standard to annotate video sequences with individual sensory effects (i.e., wind, light, and vibration) and all combinations thereof. Based on the results we derive a utility model for sensory experience that accounts for the assessed sensory effects. Finally, we provide an example instantiation of the utility model and validate it against current and past results of our subjective quality assessments conducted so far.

Current QoE research is mainly focusing on single modalities (audio, visual) or combinations thereof. In our research, we propose annotating traditional multimedia content with additional sensory effects, such as ambient light, vibration, wind, and olfaction, which could potentially stimulate all human senses. Investigating the influence of individual sensory effects and combinations thereof is important in order to understand how these individual sensory effects influence the Quality of Experience (QoE) as a whole. In this article, we describe the results of such a subjective quality assessment of audio-visual sequences which are annotated with additional sensory effects such as ambient light, wind, and vibration using the MPEG-V standard. The results of this assessment allow us to derive a utility model representing the Quality of Sensory Experience (QuaSE) complementary to existing QoE models described in terms of Quality of Service (QoS) parameters. For validating our proposed utility model, we provide an example instantiation and validate it against results of subjective quality assessments.Additional Key Words and Phrases: Sensory experience, quality of experience, MPEG-V, subjective quality assessment ACM Reference Format: Benjamin Rainer and Christian Timmerer. 2014.

Selecting and adopting the appropriate assessment method for conducting subjective quality assessments is a challenging task. The method decides whether the assessment is successful in delivering the correct answers to previously set up hypotheses. Therefore, in this paper we provide recommendations on test methods used in the domain of Sensory Experience. The proposed test methods comprise single stimulus and double stimulus methods. These test methods were used in previous studies and are presented in combination with the results of the subjective quality assessments with which they were used. Furthermore, we briefly outline our test setup, test design, and test content for assessing Sensory Experience which have been validated through conducted assessments.
