Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) does not only refer to technology but is a new paradigm in the relationship between human and computers. Connected and smart devices will be pervasive in our life and, for this reason, the design of the User Experience will be very important for this brand new kind of products. This scenario offers new opportunities but also big challenges to UX designers, moreover it requires a multidisciplinary team due to its complexity. In this work the authors propose a method for the co-design of the user experience of Internet of Things products and services. The key elements of this methods are: it help multidisciplinary teams sharing ideas using a common language, it helps to take into account opportunities and threats of the IoT scenario, it is based on a lean approach, encouraging the team to prototype and test ideas with users.
