To improve conventional keypad-based technologies, haptic feedback and user input capabilities are being developed for enhancing the UX and providing advanced functionalities in remote control devices. Although the sensation provided by haptic feedback is similar to mechanical push buttons, the former offers much greater flexibility, due to the possibility of dynamically choosing different mechanical effects and associating different functions to each of them. However, selecting the best haptic feedback effects among the wide variety that is currently enabled by recent technologies, remains a challenge for design engineers aiming to optimise the UX. Rich interaction further requires text input capability, which greatly influences the UX. This work is a contribution towards UX evaluation of remote control devices with haptic feedback and text input. A user evaluation study of a wide variety of haptic feedback effects and text input methods is presented, considering different technologies and different number of actuators on a device. The user preferences, given by subjective evaluation scores, demonstrate that haptic feedback has undoubtedly a positive impact on the UX. Moreover, it is also shown that different levels of UX are obtained, according to the technological characteristics of the haptic actuators and how many of them are used on the device.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20185316","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,17]],"date-time":"2020-09-17T08:29:43Z","timestamp":1600331383000},"page":"5316","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["User-Experience with Haptic Feedback Technologies and Text Input in Interactive Multimedia Devices"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5139-1994","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bruno","family":"Silva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Technology and Management, Polytechnic of Leiria, 2411-901 Leiria, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0063-8592","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hugo","family":"Costelha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Technology and Management, Polytechnic of Leiria, 2411-901 Leiria, Portugal"},{"name":"Institute for Systems Engineering and Computers, 2411-901 Leiria, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9689-3637","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luis C.","family":"Bento","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Technology and Management, Polytechnic of Leiria, 2411-901 Leiria, Portugal"},{"name":"Institute for Systems and Robotics, 3030-290 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Marcio","family":"Barata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tech4Home, 3700-121 S.
