UX Modeling: The Missing Parameters: The Need for Specificity
International Journal of Emerging Trends in Engineering Research · 2020
Modeling user experience (UX) is vital in properly understanding all its facets and to deconstruct user experience for the purpose of design, measurement and evaluation.A cursory examination of prior UX models indicates issues worthy of note.Sequel to this, this paper reveals the absence of the parameters of time and context of interaction in the modeling of previous models of user experience.The paper strongly advocates the inclusion of these components in all user experience models.The reason for these advocacy and recommendation is that UX is better understood when considered within a context of use as no two experiences are the same.Experience is typically unique and situated in a continuum (time and context).Moreover, the evolution of UX clearly speaks about the significance of time in the conceptualizing and making sense of experience.Hence, when developing UX models for the design or evaluation of experience, it is pertinent to include the time and context of use in such modeling.
