Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
User experience (UX) design is essential when creating products and concepts that are both pleasurable and useful. User experience designs can target to a special emotion, value, or experience and by doing so, increase the success of novel systems. This Special Issue addresses the encountered challenges as well as concepts and methods that can be used when conducting research on UX design for exploratory systems. Exploratory systems can include, e.g., futuristic, visionary interactive systems; going beyond the conventional input–output methods and form factors; and systems that reach out from the traditional use cases for interactive technology. Research papers on experiential aspects of exploratory system design may address, but are not limited to:
- User experience design of novel systems in everyday life, including leisure time and work
- Concepts and prototypes promoting specific experiential qualities, especially eudaimonic, hedonic and pleasurable, such as game-like or artistic experiences
- Interactions that employ novel technologies and modalities
- Novel form factors—beyond the mobile device
- User research on experience-driven use contexts
- Design processes and methods specifically targeted at supporting enticing experiences
