Abstract

Although 'user experience' (UX) has become a fashionable term in human-computer interaction over the past 15 years, the practical application of this (multidimensional) concept requires further advances. First, measurement models of UX are essential: they allow the concept to be measured accurately and, thereby, can aid the evaluation of interactive computer systems. Second, structural models of UX are needed: they establish the structural (antecedent-consequent or cause-and-effect) relations between its components and of these components to characteristics of users and computer systems; consequently, they can inform the design of interactive computer systems. As a proposed agenda for research and practice, we discuss various issues that need to be considered in developing and applying both types of model. We anticipate the further fruitful application of the concept of UX in terms of its measurement models and structural models.
