Abstract

In recent years, mass adoption of increasingly powerful mobile devices and ubiquitous communication networks have paved the way to smart environments. Such environments allow for the collection of user and environment data with the final goal to improve users' experience. In this context a number of opportunities and challenges are presented to Human Computer Interaction. This poster explores Quality of Experience, a subjective aspect of interaction, informally defined as the degree to which a system meets users' expectations. Furthermore, a mobile application was developed for the collection of user and environment data and delivery of personalised services in the context of Public Transport. This application will be used in a real-world environment, to further investigate the factors that have an influence on User eXperience, as well as the delivery of relevant services with the potential to enhance users' journeys while in transit.
