Identifying use cases and product evaluation dimensions for Voice User Interface (VUI) at Home
The aim of the study was to identify possible use cases for Voice User Interface (VUI) at home. Within this scope, possible use cases for connectivity at home were explored based on users’ needs and expectations. In addition to this aim, the study also explored how users perceive current home assistants, such as Amazon Echo and Google, in order to understand product evaluation dimensions for such devices. The study involved a literature review on the state-of-the-art issues, technologies, products and user research methods regarding VUI; a multistage contextual inquiry at home; and an online survey. As a result of the study, potential roles for VUI at home were identified together with use cases that the roles are applied.
