LA UX DELLE COSE
From the screen to the environment
and come back
Daniela Panfili @TsoDa - http://tsoda.eu

What will
see?
a. Not testing a new
technology but
building an
experience?
b. How to be “flexible”?
c. How you can do the
same experience?
d. What can you use
of this experience
in software
development?

Why I'm so
interested in
building an
esperience
outside a
screen?
The pervasive computing is a reality,
but currently is more on paper and in
experiments than in our daily life

The interactive museums and
installations
are a reality of an environmental experience and
all of us can try them

From the
screen to the
environment
Web, devices and
physical environment

The interactive museums
Are in this path and there are a tangible reality
How an idea can be interactive?

From the trail
to the
experience
Trying a new
technology is not
enough to build an
experience

Building the base

From the concept to the prototype:
managing the whole experience
The interactive museums
Are in this path and there are a tangible reality

The main
characters
and their
development in our
story

The interactive museums
Are in this path and there are a tangible reality
Objects’ efficiency vs. experience

How to build an experience that needs to
be scalable and flexible?
• We don’t have the knowledge for making a planning
• The concept itself has to be so strong to cover this gap
• Each release needs to give the minimum feedback to build
the next one and it should have a meaning itself

The interactive museums
Are in this path and there are a tangible reality
We planned to do three+ releases before building the real
installation

From Art to
“You”
What you can learn
and take away with
you?

Now it’s your time: how can you build an
interactive project?
• Choosing the concept, there’s no need to be “artistic” but
you need to find a purpose to act for
• Applying the technology that better fits with the project
purpose
• Planning the trials in a way that from each you can learn
how to go ahead

Tracking the project
history
Mapping the development road it’s
important to be consistent.
Chose your favourite way to collect
the process stages.
Taking notes, photos or video for
each one, conceptual or practical to
check them while you move forward.

And in your
daily working
life?
There are still some
useful concepts for it

How you can apply this experience
developing software?
• Paying attention to the relation between the user and his
environment
• Focusing on the user’s small physical problems and
attitudes
• Thinking to the user’s emotions
• Performance+Budget+Timing vs. User’s experience

What we talked about?
Testing a new technology it’s different from building an experience
Building “flexible” interactive project
If you want to do the same experience
Using this experience in software development
