Abstract:For many people, the ‘user experience’ is synonymous with the ‘user interface’. My talk will explore an alternative perspective that considers a broader notion of user experience that extends over space, time and incorporates multiple interfaces. I will begin by presenting the work of a new generation of artists who have been creating unusual and extended experiences that mix together real and virtual spaces, digital and physical materials, and scripted media with live action. From these, I will draw out a general framework for designing the extended user experience in terms of three types of trajectory called canonical, participant and historic trajectories. Finally, I will consider how this framework applies to the design of a wider range of experiences, including cultural experiences such as visiting museums and theme parks, but potentially to others too.
