Let’s start: What is UX?
This is an experience

Also this
Yep, also this
What makes these examples good (or bad) user
experiences?
It’s the sum of its parts Let’s take a look:
Good weather + Reasonable waiting times + Safe ride +
8 loops/ 100km/h + Friendly staff = Fun
??? + ??? + ??? + ??? + ??? =
What makes this a great user experience

businesses?
Think about use cases A B C D E

Leverage state-‐of-‐ the-‐art frameworks:
