Features aren’t experiencesFeatures aren’t experiences

This is not a ‘how to’ presentation.

In fact, that’s what’s been bugging me.

To me, it’s like a return to the 1990’s when all our conversations were about how to build stuff.

And we’d been making such progress with asking why, and for whom…

What we’re told vs. what we experience

The many faces of the website

My phone and the network

Other channels

Language across the ecosystem

DealershipsDealerships

Finance, servicing, downtime, replacements, upgrades, insurance…

When I’m abroadBeing abroad

Or out of rangeOut of signal range

Making features work is a usability thing

Making features work is a usability thing

But even then, how far do we take this?

This is all good. We are moving beyond features to experience.

We’re starting to look at:

• the spaces between features • and the kinds of connections that exist between features• and the systems in which they operate (those internal

and external to the service provider)

But how do we start to unpack what experience is?

The human condition

The irrational (Alan Greenspan)

Emotion (Hassenzahl)

Autonomy / independence

Competence / effectance

Relatedness / belongingness

Self-actualising / meaning

Security / control

Money / luxury

Influence / popularity

Physical thriving / bodily

Self-esteem / self respect

Pleasure / stimulation

A good place to start?

Become very sensitive to your relationship to things.

DAY-TO-DAY FRIENDS

WEEKENDFRIENDS

TWICE-A-YEARFRIENDS

BIANNUALFRIENDS

Developing your design consciousness

What is your history?What are your politics?What are your economics?What is your culture?What kind of society would you like to live in?What is your context of use?Are you an early, mid or late adopter?Are you hands-on, disconnected or impulsive?What are your routines?What do you hold dear?What do you hate in other people?What makes you envious?What did you believe differently as a child?What do you turn to in despair?What makes you dance spontaneously?How do you like architecture to make you feel?What do you base your judgements of others on?What would you write a book about? What kind of personae are you?How is this different to other people?

Develop an intuition for recognising when simple things are simple and when they are hiding complexity.

Our interpretation of findings from testing is limited by our sensitivity to people, diversity and our own imagination

1 + 1 = 3

The art of UX is pulling all these threads together and crafting it into something special.
