Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With recent technological advances, high-tech products that work with users through various methods such as tactile interfaces, gesture recognition, voice commands, and motion detection are increasing. They include innovative technologies ranging from smart devices to AI speakers, virtual reality systems, and augmented reality devices, but the increase in these products has raised concerns about user inconvenience due to the lack of consideration of user needs and behavior for design.
This journal covers all topics studied from user experience (UX) and user-centric design (UCD) perspectives in the context of new high-tech products, devices, and services and interactions between users. This Special Issue welcomes original, unpublished research contributions including, but not limited to, methodological studies and quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods studies focusing on issues around consumer interactions with new technologies or methodologies.
In detail, this Special Issue includes the following research topics:
- New user-centered design methodologies;
- Design and evaluation of high-tech products or smart products;
- New methodologies for gathering user experience data;
- New methodologies for evaluating user experience;
- User experience design for high-tech products or smart products;
- Review articles related to UCD/UX methodologies and their challenges.
