ABSTRACT

This chapter explores designing for User Experience (UX) and shows that how a user-centered system design (UCSD) approach, with some adjustments, can be used to design for UX. It talks about UX evaluation: UX dimensions and emotions. In the UCSD approach, depending on the project, the user participates to the design process in different manners, at different moments, for different periods of time, with different level of involvement, and with different levels of participation to decisions. The careful analysis of the context is essential for good system design; so it is with UX. The difference between traditional Human–computer Interaction and UX is that the latter does not only depend on the impact of the quality of system design on the users. Evaluation is part of the design process since it provides feedback to designers for making corrections and improvements.
