ABSTRACT
User Experience (UX) is a major concept in HCI and a variety of different UX definitions have been suggested within the scientific community. An ISO UX definition has been presented to standardize the term from an industry perspective. We introduce methods from formal logic in order to formalize and analyze the ISO UX definition with regard to consistency and ambiguities and present recommendations for an improved version. Although this kind of formalization is not common within the CHI community, we show that quasi-formal methods provide an alternative way of analyzing widely discussed HCI terms, such as UX, to deepen its understanding.

Understanding, scoping and defining user experience: a survey approach
CHI '09: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsDespite the growing interest in user experience (UX), it has been hard to gain a common agreement on the nature and scope of UX. In this paper, we report a survey that gathered the views on UX of 275 researchers and practitioners from academia and ...
The experience of interactive storytelling: comparing “fahrenheit” with “façade”
ICEC'11: Proceedings of the 10th international conference on Entertainment ComputingAt the intersection of multimedia, artificial intelligence, and gaming technology, new visions of future entertainment media arise that approximate the “Holodeck” ® idea of interactive storytelling. We report exploratory experiments on the user ...
Designing for user experience: academia & industry
CHI EA '11: CHI '11 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsAs the importance of user experience (UX) has grown, so too have attempts to define, delimit, categorize and theorize about it. In particular, there have been emerging lines of tension in User Experience that parallel the tensions in the larger field of ...
