The key prerequisite for experience-driven design is to define what experience for. User (UX) goals concretise the intended experience. Based on our own case studies from industrial environments and a literature study, we propose five different approaches acquiring insight inspiration UX goal setting: Brand, Theory, Empathy, Technology, Vision. Each approach brings in viewpoint, thus supporting multidisciplinary character of UX. Brand ensures that are line with company's brand promise....
This study presents an overview to human factors challenges that potentially concern future shore control centers for unmanned ships. Although commercial shipping does not yet exist, it is worth consider this emerging technology domain. Without the bridge and systems supporting crew, ships could be lighter carry more cargo – would increase revenues fuel efficiency. Literature review of autonomous remote operation on various fields, these being aviation, forestry, cars, subway systems, space...
Unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, are already an integral part of the equipment used by firefighters to monitor wildfires. They are, however, still typically only as remotely operated, mobile sensing platforms under direct real-time control a human pilot. Meanwhile, substantial body literature exists that emphasises potential autonomous drone swarms in various situational awareness missions, including context environmental protection. In this paper, we present results systematic...

In this paper, we investigate the concept of polymorphism in context artificial swarms; that is, collectives autonomous platforms such as, for example, unmanned aerial systems. This article provides reader with two practical insights: (a) a proof-of-concept simulation study to show there is clear benefit be gained from considering polymorphic and (b) discussion on design user-friendly human–machine interfaces swarm control enable human operator harness these benefits.
In recent years, the notion of user experience, or UX, as an essential aspect to be addressed in design and development technologies has been increasingly discussed. this paper, we present a case study which have used UX targets main drivers focus areas developing new remote operator station interface for container cranes. describe experiential qualities product should aim at. However, taking into consideration during is challenging, because only little known about how they would best...
Motivation -- To understand the different crane operation experiences by analysing work demands in both conventional and remote settings. On basis of this analysis, we aim to find out ways enhance operator's experience sense control feeling presence when operating remotely.
The core idea of experience-driven design is to define the intended experience before functionality and technology. This a radical for companies that have built their competences around specific technologies. Although many technology are willing shift focus towards design, reports on real-life cases about utilization this approach rare. As part an industry-led research program, we introduced metal industry with goals as key technique. Four in three showed useful keeping user experience, but...
When starting an experience design process, designers should first determine the to aim for. In fuzzy front end of there are often several alternative sources for gaining insight and inspiration in defining this experience. paper, we describe our findings from two surveys about goal setting approaches communicate these goals with stakeholders. The results researchers working on 9 different cases suggest that "empathic understanding users' world" is most used source goals. As result, propose...
In this paper, we explore the use of ubiquitous computing in cars from a user psychological point view. Cars have become an integral part our modern society and are attractive opportunity for computing. We chose to study human dimension in-car with new driver tutoring system which gives guidance messages safer more economical driving style. The was tested simulator both qualitative quantitative data collected. discuss safety effects also differences results between novice experienced male...
It is generally accepted that scientific disciplines such as psychology, sociology, and anthropology contribute beneficially to design by providing understanding of users' needs, experiences, desires. Arguably, however, these have more contribute, because they include theories models can be applied frames principles. More specifically, goal-setting, visualization, thematization, conceptual reconfiguration are general mechanisms through which translate into contributions. Actualizing radical...
In this paper, we present a preliminary taxonomy for designing and evaluating intelligent systems from the viewpoint of ubiquitous computing (ubicomp). As an example systems, examine few novel in-car which are already commercially available. We also discuss some ergonomics issues related to design argue that rationale solving these can be found ideal qualities ubicomp systems. The five characteristics define genuine context-awareness, natural interaction methods, invisibility, support...
