inspiring devices, involving interactions
about the different emotional experience of Smart Phone users in South Korea vs. Germany
The goal of the study was to find out how the user experience of a smart phone UI can be most inspiring and motivating. We tested N=40 in Germany and South Korea using both explicit and implicit research tools. Our analysis shows that South Korean customers use their Samsung Galaxy 4 phones differently than Germans. We find that success rates are higher in South Korea. We measured reaction times, various physiological signals and classical usability scales and indicators to determine if Germans use their smart phones differently than South Koreans do.
