TAUE 2012 - International Workshop on Temporal Aspects of User Experience: Models and Methods Beyond a Single Use Situation

User Experience (UX) is an ongoing process and should not be limited to a single use situation. However, this is unfortunately often the case in HCI research. The goal of this workshop is to deepen and expand available knowledge with respect to temporal dynamics of UX. Relevant aspects will be the understanding of how UX is evolving over time, in particular across products and contexts, as well as the exploration of methods that can evaluate long-term UX in practice. For this, the organizers will prepare a booklet that introduces existing models and methods for long-term UX as a mutual basis for discussing critical experience phases that should be taken into consideration in product development. The booklet also summarizes pre-notes from participants, which will be collected prior to the workshop. In addition, during an interactive group activity, participants will reflect on the diversity of long-term UX of different product types. Participants from academia as well as from industry are invited in order to tackle the question of how to make research results and methods applicable in practice.
