Theme
The concept of User Experience (UX) is about user reactions and anticipations that result from the use of products, systems or services. It is recognized that design thinking and the application of related Interaction Design (ID) methods can significantly contribute to successful applications with respect to UX.
The 1st summer school on Interaction Design & User Experience (ID-UX) is concerned with teaching and experimenting with related concepts, methods, development tools/environments and applications. The related methods are about user research, conceptual and detailed design, and the user-centred evaluation of interactive systems. The related development tools/environments are about 3D Interactive Environments, (multitouch) gestures, and kinesthetic control. The applications include scenarios of (serious) games, education, culture and their combined conceptions.
