본 연구에서는 OTT 서비스 중 해외 대표 서비스 넷플릭스와 국내 대표 서비스인 왓챠, 웨이브의 사용자 경험을 측정하는 데에 목적이 있다. 모바일 애플리케이션을 이용하여 태스크 실험과 심층 인터뷰, 설문조사를 병행하여 OTT 서비스의 사용자 경험에 관한 정성적인 연구와 정량적 연구를 진행하였다. 연구 결과, OTT 서비스의 유용성이나 접근성에 대해 사용자들은 OTT 서비스 간에 큰 차이를 느끼지 못하였고, 오히려 개개인의 기호에 따른 콘텐츠가 OTT 서비스 선택에 있어 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷플릭스는 콘텐츠의 확보가, 왓챠는 인터페이스 개선과 카테고리의 재구성이 필요하며, 웨이브는 주력하는 콘텐츠 제시와 메인 화면의 인터페이스 개선이 필요하다. 이 연구는 치열해지는 OTT 플랫폼의 경쟁 속에서 차별화된 사용자 경험 구축에 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.
