Connecting the dots of user experience The design of interactive systems February 2009 Gianluca Brugnoli frogdesign

DECONSTRUCTING THE MACHINE: THE SYSTEM PARADIGM Traditionally interaction design is centered on the relation of a man with a machine or a service, where (usually) goals and sphere of action are well deﬁned. What happen if the “machine” is broken down into a network made of services and distributed applications? What happen if interaction is no longer based on functional and clear goals, but becomes an open and borderless experience where the main goal is living the experience itself? 2

Experience is a conversation Many locations Many situations Many channels One conversation 3

CONTENT IS GETTING INDEPENDENT FROM THE MEDIA According to the annual CENSIS* report about media consumption in Italy in 2005, teenage users don’t mind about the media used to enjoy contents (music and information). Contents are streams they freely catch where possible with any media available. Media are getting undi erentiated for the user experience. Context and user intentions makes the di erence. *CENSIS, from the 1964, is the main Italian social study and research public foundation. http://www.censis.it/ 5

Design considerations Many entry points are possible In the system there are many entry points where the user can initiate the interaction, following context, situation and other needs and goals. There is no one best way Interaction and task ﬂow doesn’t always follow one single optimal process, but is the combination of various partial and occasional actions accomplished by the user with di erent tools in di erent context. Design for connections In the system scenario, design is mainly focused on ﬁnding the connections with the whole network, than in creating closed and self- su cient systems, tools and services. Connections are social and cultural assets, other than technical. 24

Connecting the dots 1.  For a positive and fulﬁlling user experience, the whole is more important than the parts. Moreover, the intelligence of the platform is more important than the intelligence of the single device, which could be replaced or completed. 25

They are the arrival point of a fragmented and random interaction ﬂow which goes through many devices and di erent situations. 26

Before focusing on the capabilities and on the features of a single device, the design should start from the organization of the system, and from the possible relationships and connections between the parts which can be activated by the user action. 27
