As noted by Peter Morville, considered by many as a founding father of Information Architecture, any information brought to bear in the design process should be: useful, usable, desirable, findable, accessible, credible, and valuable. Therefore, considering users’ experiences in the design process is critical. This issue presents the results of three very different studies which examined UX as part of the design process for a service or product. The issue’s first paper presents a UX evaluationmethodology whereby authors Kapusy and Lógó collected data about users’ experiences during a first-time interaction with a product. In this case, the product was the social media application Snapchat. The authors used a three-step process in which each step built upon the previous step(s). First, they performed a usability test on a sample of young men and women, novices to Snapchat, between 20 and 25 years. Second, study participants with backgrounds in design, marketing, and ergonomics applied Jiro Kawakita’s affinity diagram to expand the statements from the usability test findings. Finally, as a third step, the authors applied Hassenzahl’s model to organize the attributes from the second step. The model defines two distinct characteristics of a product: pragmatic (functionality and usability) and hedonic (stimulation, identification, and evocation). The results indicated that some users found Snapchat trendy and exciting, while others found it pointless and lost interest and thus experienced weak stimulation while interacting with the app. The study also reported mixed results for identification and evocation. The authors suggest that these findings will help UX designers and product management teams become aware of the critical characteristics for developing better designs for interacting with a product or service. In the second paper, Yang and Hunt developed and tested an interactive system, SonicTrainer, designed to improve exercise quality and user motivation. Using biceps curls as an example, the authors monitored arm movement andmuscle activity and provided auditory feedback to promote exercise quality. Although several participants reported that the sonic feedback distracted them from feeling fatigued, their arm movement quality as measured by the motion analysis was not significant. The study demonstrated that augmented feedback through auditory modality could be easy, safe, and valuable during real-time exercise and could be applied for outdoor physical activities as well. Also, Sauer et al. present results from a survey of vehicle design experts that considered level-four automated vehicle interiors in China, Germany, and US markets. The study identified cultural diversity in design requirements related to passenger well-being and other user needs (i.e., trust, comfort, and u","PeriodicalId":357563,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics in Design: The Quarterly of Human Factors Applications","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115200191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This conclusion is supported by the following observations: 1) down through the millennia, there have been recurrent ergonomic efforts to design technological proxies—from the pyramids to the atomic clock—for detecting the passage of time; and 2) these efforts point to our reliance on technology, rather than our own sensory feedback control capabilities, to track time.

Wearable devices have the potential to offer customizable microclimate control. However, individual experiences with different supplemental heating strategies are likely to vary considerably in unconstrained environments. The physiological responses, psychophysical effects, and qualitative experiences of participants using five readily available heating strategies were collected in a quasi-field study environment ( n=17). Although all devices maintained or increased fingertip temperature, effects observed from controlled studies of thermal physiology are not clearly seen. Physiological, perceptual, and experiential data are presented, exploring heating technologies and thermal comfort in typical indoor environments.","PeriodicalId":357563,"journal":{"name":"Ergonomics in Design: The Quarterly of Human Factors Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122725986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
