Abstract

Multimedia systems and applications have recently started to integrate the sense of touch and force feedback in the human-computer interaction. Surprisingly, measuring the quality of experience when haptic modality is incorporated in a graphical user interface has received limited attention from the research community. In this paper, we propose a taxonomy for measuring the quality of experience of a haptic user interface (HUI) applications. Furthermore, the taxonomy is modeled using a mathematical model. Finally, the proposed model is evaluated using two HUI-based applications: the haptic learning system and the haptic enabled UML CASE tool. The performance evaluation demonstrated that the proposed model is capable of reflecting the user estimation of the applications.
