User experience (UX) refers to the feelings people have when interacting with a product or service. UX design aims to enable certain experience through the development and testing of prototypes, therefore methods are needed to capture and evaluate user experience at different stages of use. Experience Sampling Method has been used to capture user experience on a moment-to-moment basis and in th...

We present iScale, a survey tool for the retrospective elicitation of longitudinal user experience data. iScale employs sketching in imposing a process in the reconstruction of one’s experiences with the aim to minimize retrospection bias. Two versions, the Constructive and the ValueAccount iScale, were motivated by two distinct theories on how people reconstruct emotional experiences from memo...

Several studies promote technologies as a good way for museums to...

In this paper we describe some of the approaches we have worked with as well as some of the tools we have developed for carrying out mobile user experience research in-the-wild. We outline some of the challenges we faced and the lessons learned based on these experiences and highlight what we see as the key areas to focus on, in terms of carrying out mobile user experience research on a large-s...

Today, the media of VR and Telepresence are in their infancy and the emphasis is still on technology and engineering. But, it is not the hardware people might use that will determine whether VR becomes a powerful medium instead, it will be the experiences that they are able to have that will drive its acceptance and impact. A critical challenge in the elaboration of these telepresence capabilit...

Many e-learning artefacts have been developed and promoted based on their ability to enhance learning and elearner experience. However, there is a lack of precise definition of what the e-learner experience implies and associated models to inform this experience. This paper introduces a novel e-Learner Experience Model (eLEM) along with its roots in: (i) e-learning domain research, and (ii) use...

The perceived affordances of an everyday object guide its user toward habitual movements and experiences. Physical actions that are not immediately associated with established body techniques often remain neglected. Can sound activate those potentials for action that remain latent in the physicality of an object? How can the exploration of underused and unusual bodily movements be fostered? Thi...
