TLDR
A case study based on the design, development, and assessment of a prototype devoted to assist students' during their daily activities in a smart campus context is presented.Abstract:
The spoken language is the most natural interface for a human being and, thanks to the scientific-technological advances made in recent decades, nowadays we have voice assistance devices to interact with a machine through the use of natural language. Vocal user interfaces (VUI) are now included in many technological devices, such as desktop and laptop computers, smartphones and tablets, navigators, and home speakers, being welcomed by the market. The use of voice assistants can also be interesting and strategic in educational contexts and in public environments. This paper presents a case study based on the design, development, and assessment of a prototype devoted to assist students' during their daily activities in a smart campus context.read more

Measuring Voice UX Quantitatively: A Rapid Review
Katie Seaborn,Jacqueline Urakami +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors surveyed the ACM and IEEE literatures to determine which quantitative measures and measurements have been deemed important for voice UX and found that there is little consensus, even with similar situations and systems, as well as an overreliance on lab work and unvalidated scales.

Embodiment in conversational interfaces: Rea
Justine Cassell,Timothy Bickmore,Mark Billinghurst,Lee W. Campbell,K. Chang,Hannes Högni Vilhjálmsson,H. Yan +6 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the only way to fullymodel the richness of human I&+ to-face communication is torely on conversational analysis that describes sets of conversational behaviors as fi~lfilling conversational functions, both interactional and propositional.

"Alexa is my new BFF": Social Roles, User Satisfaction, and Personification of the Amazon Echo
TL;DR: Results indicate marked variance in how people refer to the device, with over half using the personified name Alexa but most referencing the device with object pronouns, and personification predicts user satisfaction with the Echo.
