Abstract:
This paper presents a design and evaluation process in the early design phase towards a three dimensional user interface on a touch screen mobile device with service multitasking use cases. Our Service Fusion concept is an outcome of this iterative concept design and evaluation process. In this paper, we present briefly four 3D user interface concepts, evaluated with users and experts. Two of these concepts are also implemented on a touch screen mobile device. We also present user experience findings and how they have supported our early phase design process. The Service Fusion demonstration of 3D multitasking shows multiple services running in a 3D city model, which allows users to purchase movie tickets, listen to music and find local bars and stores by drag and drop gestural controls. Evaluation findings indicate that people are interested in service multitasking and dragging and dropping interaction model in 3D user interfaces in the tablet device context. However, the 3D space context will affect how important and useful users perceive services to them.
