Abstract

The study evaluates user experiences of YouTube and Vimeo, typical Video-sharing websites, to suggest guidelines that are more user-cantered and useful. I did some literature research followed with evaluation of theoretical backgrounds, present conditions and future services. Also, I used the six principles of "Creating Pleasurable Interface" by Stephen Anderson to conduct an in-depth interview. The results indicate that YouTube needs to improve availability of its functions and usability by reducing advertisement. Vimeo needs to improve its popularity by increasing popular contents and add relationship service such as personal broadcasting system and community services. I expect this study will become a good resource for upgrading user experiences of Video-sharing websites. I also believe that this study can guide other studies about user experience in other fields.

본 연구는 대표적인 영상 공유 사이트인 유튜브와 비메오를 사용자 관점에서 비교 분석하고 이를 통해 인터페이스 디자인에 따른 사용자 경험의 개선 방향을 제안하는 데 목적이 있다. 1차로 문헌연구를 통하여 현재 제공되고 있는 서비스 현황과 이론적 배경을 고찰하고, 앞으로의 서비스 전망에 대하여 비교 분석하였다. 2차로 스티븐 앤더슨(Stephen Anderson)의 Creating Pleasurable Interfaces 6가지 원칙을 바탕으로 심층인터뷰를 진행하였다. 그 결과, 유튜브의 경우 기능에 대한 접근성 저하와 광고량 과다로 편의성 개선이 필요하였다. 비메오의 경우 대중적 콘텐츠 부족으로 인한 대중성 향상과 개인 방송 시스템, 커뮤니티 등과 같은 관계성 서비스가 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 앞으로 영상 공유 사이트의 사용자 경험 개선 방안을 위한 참고 자료로 사용될 수 있을 것을 기대하며, 이후 진행될 다른 분야의 사용자 경험 연구에도 도움이 되길 바란다.
