What is user experience?


What is user experience? 
User experience, in other words, are how users use the product and give their opinions about it. It is about how the product work and how users actually use it think about it? Is it effective? Does it work well? Is this easy to use? It is how the product present it to the world and the points of view of people about it. (Preece, Yvonne, & Sharp, 2015).
Topic reflection:
1. User experience is very important. Sometimes, it is the standard to determine if the product
is actually worth or not. One bad experience maybe a coincidence, but if we keep ignoring it,
it will become a failure. Interaction with human is the main goal for creating products, swhat is the point if nobody using them. Computers, smartphones, etc. will not become popular like now if users did not see value and convenience of using them. One person like product, they will recommend them for another person, and that just keep going. Success with use experience is the main point to decide if product will last long or not in the market.

2. A study from Yosei University about human-vehicle showed us about how user experience can affect to the design originally. The user experience driving with cars, then giving feedback about its weakness and designers acknowledge those to make new design more convenient with user., which is called “user-centric” (Lee & Ju, 2018).
3. User experience is important, that is why I found this video on YouTube explained very simple but easy to understand the concept

“Controlled settings involving users” Evaluation Method

“Controlled settings involving users” Evaluation Method “Controlled settings involving users (examples are laboratories and living labs): users’ activities are controlled in order to test hypotheses and measure or observe certain behaviors. The main methods are usability testing and experiments.” (Preece, Yvonne, & Sharp, 2015) Reflection on the Topic 1.       This type of testing is mainly for research about a topic, which usually have expectations going with it. Users are not free to do whatever they want, but instead being controlled to perform specific tasks. This is usually used for technology testing (Preece et al., 2015) . Data collected will be used to interpret and make update about products. 2.       “working group attempted to answer some baseline questions: What can and cannot be customized in the new interface? How, and according to what timeline, should we introduce the new interface to our library patrons...

Natural Interface

Natural Interface Natural User Interface “is one that enables people to interact with a computer in the same ways they interact with the physical world, through using their voice, hands, and bodies. Instead of using a keyboard and a mouse (as is the case with GUIs), a natural user interface allows users to speak to machines, stroke their surfaces, gesture at them in the air, dance on mats that detect feet movements, smile at them to get a reaction, and so on” (Preece, Yvonne, & Sharp, 2015, p.188) Reflection on the Topic 1.       Natural interface is the way of people can control and interact with computers or virtual products using their normal gestures. The systems are built to sense the actions, like jumping, waving, etc. and make actions according to actions as programmed. 2.       “Natural User Interface (NUI), a more natural way for people to interact with technology. NUI refers to both sensory inputs such as to...

Prototypes

Prototypes Prototype is “one manifestation of a design that allows stakeholders to interact with it and to explore its suitability”, useful when discussing or evaluating ideas with stakeholders; they are a communication device among team members, and an effective way for designers to explore design ideas” (Preece, Yvonne, & Sharp, 2015) Reflection on the Topic 1.       Prototypes are design or tested version made before actual products, so the designers can have basic ideas that their thought and reality come together work or not and make changes, updates based on the tested version before making actual products. 2.       “Prototypes are important tools in the development and production of new products. In the engineering design literature, prototypes are mainly perceived as tools for validating and verifying aspects of a design in the late stages of the design process” (Elverum & Welo, 2016) (Dai, Zhu, & Che...
