This table shows the importance of certain use cases on different device form factors. See the sections below for an explanation of the use cases and device form factors. The importance is separated into three different levels: Main for primary features, Relevant for useful, but not essential features and Subsidiary for features that are rarely needed or do not apply to a certain device form factor.

Use case Desktop Notebook Smartphone Tablet TV Vehicle Plane
Exploration Main Relevant Main Main Subsidiary Subsidiary
