This blog is dedicated to Jesse and Maya's Wednesday morning section of Introduction to Experience Design at the Ontario College of Art and Design, Winter 2009.
Christian's Toy is a wooden puzzle. It has 5 pieces that must be fit together in a specific manner. I believe it is handcarved. It has one correct answer. It has little replay value. It is aesthetically pleasing, as both a whole and individual pieces. It fits easily in your hands but requires another surface to take the pieces apart and move them around.
Experience design is the practice of designing products, processes, services, events, and environments - each of which is a human experience – with the specific focus of the design activity being the quality of the user experience. In turn, the quality of any experience is a combination of factors which include individual or group needs, desires, beliefs, knowledge, skills, experiences, and perceptions. Experience design combines technological innovation with social innovation, psychology, linguistics, cognitive science, architecture and environmental design, information design, ethnography, brand management, interaction design, service design, storytelling and heuristics.
