Abstract

So far, little research has been devoted to the user centric design of mobile stereoscopic 3D user interfaces (UIs). In this paper, we focus on charting people's perceptions and suggestions on the purposes for which stereoscopic 3D (S3D) user interface designs could be used in typical mobile phone applications. For this, we conducted two user studies (n=33; n=27) charting initial user perceptions around four mobile S3D applications. The findings reveal that most commonly the stereoscopic effect was perceived to be used for visualizing contextually relevant or additional information related to a content item, user's preferences, and grouping or selecting items.
