Experience Design (XD) is used to create positive experiences with the help of interactive products. These experiences are based on psychological needs that are specifically addressed. Experience design is therefore less driven by technology, possibilities or functionalities but rather by the question of needs and significance.
In this practical course, the entire process of experience design is run through in the context of a current problem. This process includes the following points:
- Collecting positive experiences in a specific context
- Identification of patterns that generate these experiences
- Generating product ideas that create comparable experiences with the help of interactive products
- Creation of storyboards, wireframes and state diagrams for your own product idea
- Elaboration of the product idea in an agile process (prototyping, in group work)
Traditionally, the block practical course Experience Design focuses particularly on the design and realisation of concrete prototypes. The prototype spectrum typically includes haptic prototypes (alternatively digital prototypes, wireframes, mockups) and video prototypes.
