Abstract

This book has presented a psychology of user experience and in doing so we have adopted a philosophical perspective to frame at least some of the ways in which we interact or use or otherwise employ digital products.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The term “autotelic” derives from two Greek words, auto meaning self, and telos meaning goal. It refers to a self-contained activity, one that is done not with the expectation of some future benefit, but simply because the doing itself is the reward.

  2. 2.

    The following section has been adapted from an interview in the Atlantic magazine. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/06/the-app-that-does-nothing/529764/.

  3. 3.

    A final note on involvement. Heidegger tells us that care is the fundamental basis of our being-in-the-world and reveals itself in a variety of ways, for example: (and here we borrow freely from Wheeler 2011) as having to do something, producing something, attending to something and looking after it, making use of something, undertaking, accomplishing, considering, determining and so forth. In short, because we care, we are involved. However, we have chosen to base this account of UX on involvement rather than care, as the former is more manageable and familiar to the HCI professional for whom this book is written. However, we do recognise that a fuller treatment of human computer interaction is possible but would require care.

  4. 4.

    Heidegger’s usually untranslated word for “human-being”.
