conego (principal investigator) investigates requirements and user acceptance of voice-based services for citizens. In analogy to emerging „Conversational Commerce“ applications, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of future „Conversational E-Government“ services on smartphones or smart loudspeakers. By developing and evaluating a functional prototype of a promising voice-based citizen service, we will derive guidelines for their concrete design, realization and introduction. |
