Väänänen-Vainio-Mattila: Ubiquitous and embodied user experience: Design cases with children, dogs and families

I will start my talk by presenting the research domains of IHTE (Human-Centered Technology) unit in Tampere University of Technology. I will then present some of our recent projects where we have addressed user experience of ubiquitous and embodied systems. These cases are rather explorative and they have included aspects of design research in order to generate new understanding of user experience. I would like to reflect our findings with the seminar participants’ experiences in user experience design studies.
