Mastering quality of experience (QoE) is key to the widespread adoption of stereoscopic 3DTV (S-3DTV). However, assessing QoE of S-3DTV is not straightforward. Methods for determining observer experience need to be clearly defined and sufficiently robust. In this paper, we present state-of-the-art subjective QoE assessment for S-3DTV. We present conventional stan⁃ dardized ITU recommendations for evaluating picture quality and discuss new ITU activities in the area of S-3DTV assess⁃ ment. We also present and discuss explorative studies from the literature. We then introduce ways of using conventional quality assessment for S-3DTV QoE assessment. In discussing our pro⁃ posal, we mainly focus on QoE indicators and common features of subjective assessment. Multidimensional QoE indicators need to be used in S-3DTV to highlight advantages and reveal problems. In the second part of our proposal, we discuss the re⁃ quirements for adapting ITU-R BT.500, a conventional subjec⁃ tive QoE assessment method, ITU-R BT.500, for assessing QoE of S-3DTV are presented.
