Abstract

In this article we investigate the effect of playout buffering control in haptic media, sound, and video transmission via QoE (Quality of Experience) assessment. We assess the operability of the haptic interface device, sound output quality, video output quality, inter-stream synchronization quality, and comprehensive quality. We also evaluate the application-level QoS (Quality of Service), and demonstrate that, with high accuracy, it is possible to estimate QoE parameters from QoS parameters.
