HOW GOOD IS YOUR
USER EXPERIENCE?

UX
WHAT IS IT?

All the aspects of how people use an
interactive product: the way it feels
in their hands, how well they
understand how it works, how they
feel about it while they’re using it,
how well it serves their purposes,
and how well it fits into the entire
context in which they are using it.
(Alben 1996)
All aspects of the end-user’s
interaction with the company, its
services, and its products. The first
requirement for an exemplary user
experience is to meet the exact
needs of the customer, without fuss
or bother. Next comes simplicity and
elegance that produce products that
are a joy to own, a joy to use. True
user experience goes far beyond
giving customers what they say they
want, or providing checklist features.
In order to achieve high-quality user
experience in a company’s offerings
there must be a seamless merging
of the services of multiple
disciplines, including engineering,
marketing, graphical and industrial
design, and interface design.
(Nielsen-Norman Group)
The overall experience, in general or
specifics, a user, customer, or
audience member has with a
product, service, or event. In the
Usability field, this experience is
usually defined in terms of ease-of-
use. However, the experience
encompasses more than merely
function and flow, but the
understanding compiled through all
of the senses. (Shedroff)
Every aspect of the user’s
interaction with a product, service, or
company that make up the user’s
perceptions of the whole. User
experience design as a discipline is
concerned with all the elements that
together make up that interface,
including layout, visual design, text,
brand, sound, and interaction. UE
works to coordinate these elements
to allow for the best possible
interaction by users. (UPA)
User eXperience (UX) is about how
a person feels about using a system.
User experience highlights the
experiential, affective, meaningful
and valuable aspects of human-
computer interaction (HCI) and
product ownership, but it also covers
a person’s perceptions of the
practical aspects such as utility,
ease of use and efficiency of the
system. User experience is
subjective in nature, because it is
about an individual’s performance,
feelings and thoughts about the
system. User experience is dynamic,
because it changes over time as the
circumstances change (Wikipedia)
User Experience (abbreviated: UX)
is the quality of experience a person
has when interacting with a specific
design. (UXnet.org and Interaction-
Design.org)
Users’ perceptions of interaction that
constitute qualities of use. (Colbert
2005)
A result of motivated action in a
certain context. User’s previous
experiences and expectations
influence the present experience;
this present experience leads to
more experiences and modified
expectations. (Mäkelä & Fulton
Suri, 2001)
The value derived from interaction(s)
[or anticipated interaction(s)] with a
product or service and the
supporting cast in the context of use
(e.g., time, location, and user
disposition). (Sward & MacArthur
(2007)
The user experience considers the
wider relationship between the
product and the user in order to
investigate the individual’s personal
experience of using it. (McNamara
& Kirakowski, 2006)
An activity of encounter by a
computer user with the auditory and
visual presentation of a collection of
computer programs. It is important to
note that this includes only what the
user perceives and not all that is
presented. (Microsoft)
An umbrella term used to describe
all the factors that contribute to a site
user’s overall perception of a
system. Is it easy to use, attractive
and appropriate? Does it meet user
needs?
(Public Life)
A consequence of a user’s internal
state (predispositions, expectations,
needs, motivation, mood, etc.), the
characteristics of the designed
system (e.g. complexity, purpose,
usability, functionality, etc.) and the
context (or the environment) within
which the interaction occurs (e.g.
organisational/social setting,
meaningfulness of the activity,
voluntariness of use, etc.)
(Hassenzahl & Tractinsky, 2006)
The entire set of affects that is
elicited by the interaction between a
user and a product, including the
degree to which all our senses are
gratified (aesthetic experience), the
meanigs we attach to the product
(experience of meaning), and the
feelings and emotions that are
elicited (emotional experience).
(Hekkert, 2006)
A set of material rendered by a user
agent which may be perceived by a
user and with which interaction may
be possible. (W3C)
UX is a momentary, primarily
evaluative feeling (good-bad) while
interacting with a product or service.
(Hassenzahl, 2008)
The user experience, mostly called
“customer experience” when
referring to e-commerce websites;
the totality of the experience of a
user when visiting a website. Their
impressions and feelings. Whether
they’re successful. Whether they
enjoy themselves. Whether they feel
like coming back again. The extent
to which they encounter problems,
confusions, and bugs.
(UsabilityFirst.com)
Encompasses all aspects of a digital
product that users experience
directly—and perceive, learn, and
use—including its form, behavior,
and content. Learnability, usability,
usefulness, and aesthetic appeal are
key factors in users’ experience of a
product. (UXmatters)
UX = the sum of a series of
interactions
User experience (UX) represents the
perception left in someone’s mind
following a series of interactions
between people, devices, and
events – or any combination thereof.
(Fatdux.com)
A person’s perceptions and
responses that result from the use or
anticipated use of a product, system
or service (ISO 9241-210, 2010)
The design of user interaction with a
system, product or service
considering the usability, the
enjoyment and the fit to the way
users think. (TicToc)
User experience = Convenience + Design – Cost.
Convenience is the king. What makes a product convenient is quite often what
makes it usable. It might also relate to the availability of the product. It might
also have something to do with laziness and productivity. Defining
“convenience” is by no means an easy task. As is with everything else in this
chart, convenience is subjective.
Design is what makes a product liked and attractive, even before it has been
used. Design is what makes you want the product. It is beauty, the touch of a
famous designer, a likable company, character—pretty much what brand value
is thought to be. (Nyman 2005)
The user experience is the totality of
end-users’ perceptions as they
interact with a product or service.
These perceptions include
effectiveness (how good is the
result?), efficiency (how fast or
cheap is it?), emotional satisfaction
(how good does it feel?), and the
quality of the relationship with the
entity that created the product or
service (what expectations does it
create for subsequent interactions?).
(Kuniavsky, 2010)
The overall experience and
satisfaction a user has when using a
product or system. (BitPipe.com)
The overall perception and
comprehensive interaction an
individual has with a company,
service or product. A positive user
experience is an end-user‘s
successful and streamlined
completion of a desired task. (Goto,
2004)
Users’ judgement of product quality
arising from their experience of
interaction, and the product qualities
which engender effective use and
pleasure. (Sutcliffe, 2010)User experience stands for the
quality of a global experience as
perceived by a person (user)
interacting with a system. (use-

CONCLUSION

WHAT?
SO
WHAT?
NOW
WHAT?
OEMs can differentiate among
themselves by focusing and
boosting user-oriented qualities
(product fit and inspiration).
Understand driver’s emotional
benefits of using infotainment
systems.
How the product can better fit to
users personal lives?
How to make users more emotionally
engage while using infotainment
system?
Key Takeaway #1:
Strong on Aesthetic Qualities but fall behind on Product Fit & Inspiration
Overall, drivers are satisfied with
their infotainment systems’ look,
feel and sound (4.5 in total)
however, the products lack of
personal engagement and
inspirational motives – this
quality has the lowest scores
across all markets (4.2 in total).

WHAT?
SO
WHAT?
NOW
WHAT?
Drivers needs are focused on
easiness and flexibility.
Especially icons and commands
need to be adopted to markets’
forms, linguistic rules and
consumer’s technological
adaptation level /market
technological advancement.
Understand drivers’ needs - ‘what’
and ‘why’ cause difficulties and
test different solutions and its
regional/market applicability.
Leverage tech. developments
outside of Auto and provide
designs in line with the personal
technological features.
Key Takeaway #2:
Users are Looking for Flexibility and Easiness in Operating Info. Systems
Understanding the icons and
system commands are the
functions that impact the UX-score
the most and negatively.
In their next systems, drivers are
looking for easy to access
information systems (33%) and
infotainment that is designed to
work with different formats like
iOS, Android etc. (32%)

WHAT?
SO
WHAT?
NOW
WHAT?
There is a need to understand
market differences and drivers’
expectations when it comes to
infotainment systems’ user
experiences.
Understand drivers’ expectations :
• collect first hand feedback
from drivers
• follow the pace of
technological developments
outside of automotive and
leverage & adjust to auto tech
Key Takeaway #3:
UX Expectations vary by Markets – Japan vs. US & Europe
Japanese drivers have significantly
different UX expectations vs.
drivers form USA & Europe.
Japan is the only market with
total UX score below 4 points
(3.8).
