Innledning

This course introduces students to the concept and complexity of experience. Experience is understood as a series of complex interactions between humans and their technological, social, and natural environments, which users interpret into general impressions. The course addresses this complexity by introducing multifaceted approaches to designing for the experience of products and/or services.

Students will be invited to explore practical design concepts concerning socio-cultural contexts, technological interface interactions, and the phenomenology of experience, as well as employing theoretical approaches to engaging users. These explorations will include applied experiments and design iterations through testing and scenario building. To create more meaningful experiences, issues of user motivation, mastery, and well-being will take central focus in revisions and discussions.
