Abstract

In this paper, we deal with a networked ensemble with a keyboard harmonica and a tambourine by using haptic media, sound, and video, and we investigate the influence of inter-stream synchronization errors among haptic media, sound, and video by quality of experience (QoE) assessment. In the QoE assessment, we handle two cases (cases 1 and 2). In case 1, we use low quality sound and normal video as well as haptic media. In case 2, we employ higher quality sound and stereo video with higher resolution than those in case 1. Assessment results illustrate that for example, the allowable range of inter-stream synchronization error in the networked ensemble is narrower than that in previous work.
