A long path has been taken in the side of technology to develop 3D video for consumer products, but user studies to underline the actual users’ needs and expectations are disregarded. The object of this study is to examine users’ needs, expectations and requirements for mobile 3D television and video. We conducted three user studies applying a methodological triangulation of the extensive survey, focus groups and probe studies to gather the requirements. The results are presented in the form of the requirement guideline which highlights the aspects of users, desired system and service including the interesting contents and usage contexts. Both academia and industry can benefit from these requirements when designing the further studies and development work in the user experience of 3D television and video.
