User experience is becoming a key term in the world of interactive product design. The term itself lacks proper theoretical definition and is used in many different, even contradictory, ways. This paper reviews various existing approaches to understanding user experience and describes three main approaches and their differences. A missing perspective is noted in all three: their focus is on onl...

Experience Management (EM) is an area that is increasingly gaining importance. Its roots lie in Experimental Software Engineering ("Experience Factory"), in Artificial Intelligence ("Case-Based Reasoning"), and in Knowledge Management. EM is comprised of the dimensions methodology, technical realization, organization, and management. It includes technologies, methods, and tools for identifying,...

in this research, it has been tried to determine and introduce the relationship between the mystical experience and paradoxical expression. in the first section the major function of these two categories in language has been considered. in the other section some significant questions have been scientifically answered. these questions are: is the paradoxical expression the internal characteristi...

Case study describing tools and processes enabling accelerated adoption of Usability Standards, and increased efficiencies in development of accessible, internationalized, branded applications across large number of products in an enterprise. By building tools to support UE standards and best practices, the User Experience Team at Cisco not only achieved wide adoption of UE standards and best p...

This paper discusses the potential of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) in the interaction between users and objects in points of interest in a city. We present an initial design of the user experience with BCI, aimed to include users with disabilities but also to enhance the experience of the general public. This design includes a physical space to be conditioned specifically for BCI so users ca...

Much work remains to be done with subjective evaluations of speech-based and multimodal systems. In particular, user experience is still hard to evaluate. SUXES is an evaluation method for collecting subjective metrics with user experiments. It captures both user expectations and user experiences, making it possible to analyze the state of the application and its interaction methods, and compar...

Cyberspace constitutes a specific environment; the investigations in this field are based either on the original cyberspace-dependent methods and theories, or on universal theories and methods worked out in diverse areas of knowledge, not necessarily closely connected with cyberspace. A psychological theoretical construct (with vast practical perspectives) introduced by Csikszentmihalyi, (2000/...

An increasing number of persuasive technology systems consist of multiple devices that enable efficient just-in-time interaction with the user. Developing multi-device systems to support a human activity bring about new challenges for interaction and user experience design. The main challenge identified in this paper is the successful designing of coherent user experience, which may improve use...
