focusThink about a camera that besides from enabling to take
pictures of a travel, might catch and store the smells of a market, or the noises
of people and music around: and think about a multimodal photo album, which
enables to evoke the experience and share it with others.
Experience design is a design approach which focuses on the quality of the
user experience during the whole period of engagement with a product: from
the first approach, through its usage, to the reflection and memory of the
complete relationship.
As technologies for wireless networks, image capture, storage and display get
cheaper and more performing, and as the internet drives up the availability
of a pervasive information and communication infrastructure, it becomes
possible to embed computing capabilities into a variety of environments and
bring communication in a much broader set of contexts. Thus, pervasive
computing and context sensitive systems allow for the design of new stimuli
from which people could create their own meaningful experiences, individual
or shareable.
These goals raise new challenges, suggesting the need of new methods and forms
of interaction patterns between users and environments, and between different
groups of users. Design can play a key role in shaping new toolkits for
contextualized experiences, and enhance the natural evolutions of users' sense
of place and time towards the experience of living in a mixed reality, in which
physical and virtual spaces are blending together, and social relationships
become fluid and distributed.
participation- interaction design for pervasive computing: thus addressing new scenarios for pervasive computing, interaction within instrumented environments, multi-user interaction and interfaces, multimodal interfaces, tangible user interfaces, interaction paradigms.
- design for experience management: techniques and activity theory approaches focusing on how to stimulate and support users in creating their experience within a pervasive scenario, how to engage them within the experience, how to collect, store, reflect on, share experiences.
- user experience evaluation: user experience taxonomies, understanding of users’ needs and specification of requirements, evaluation methods and assessment approaches.
- design of toolkits for the authoring of blended experiences: design for ambiguity, allowing for a transparency of the infrastructure that can stimulate and support users’ and designers’ creativity while making a semantic relationship between physical and virtual spaces of a mixed reality.
