User experience highlights the hands-on, effective, meaningful and valuable aspects of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). However, it also covers a person’s perceptions of the practical aspects such as utility, ease of use and efficiency of the system.
We all encounter user experience in our everyday lives; every time we get into our car, when we go to the super market, use a home stereo or interact with a brand.
At BrightStarr, we put the highest value on user experience and use User Centred Design (UCD) to drive a great user experience. UCD is a philosophy and a process in which the needs, wants and limitations of the end user of an interface or document are given extensive attention at each stage of the design process.
User Centred Design can be characterized as a multi-stage problem solving process that not only requires designers to analyse and foresee how users are likely to use an interface, but also to test the validity of their assumptions.
