Abstract
The usage of mobile TV and video devices is now spreading in Japan as well as in other countries. We conducted a user study to know when, how and why people were using the devices through qualitative interviews. In this paper, we showed one of the findings from this user study, that is, different attitudes concerning the usage of live mobile TV compared with that of mobile video on commuter buses or trains.
