Expérience utilisateurthumb|Diagramme situant l'expérience utilisateur L'expérience utilisateur (EU) (en anglais, user experience, abrégé UX) est la qualité du vécu de l'utilisateur dans des environnements numériques ou physiques. C'est une notion de plus en plus courante là où l'on utilisait, encore récemment, les notions d'ergonomie des logiciels et d'utilisabilité.
ExpérienceL'expérience est la connaissance acquise à travers l'interaction avec l'environnement. Une expérience est un enchaînement d'événements dont on peut tirer une leçon par un retour d'expérience. La connaissance issue de l'expérience s'oppose à celle qui relève d'une élaboration théorique. L'expérience d'une personne est l'ensemble des savoirs qu'elle a acquis par la pratique, et non seulement par un enseignement formel. Lorsque cette connaissance est socialement partagée et construite dans l'intersubjectivité, il s'agit d'expérience sociale.
Iterative and incremental developmentIterative and incremental development is any combination of both iterative design or iterative method and incremental build model for development. Usage of the term began in software development, with a long-standing combination of the two terms iterative and incremental having been widely suggested for large development efforts. For example, the 1985 DOD-STD-2167 mentions (in section 4.1.2): "During software development, more than one iteration of the software development cycle may be in progress at the same time.
User experience designUser experience design (UX design, UXD, UED, or XD) is the process of defining the experience a user would go through when interacting with a company, its services, and its products. Design decisions in UX design are often driven by research, data analysis, and test results rather than aesthetic preferences and opinions. Unlike user interface design, which focuses solely on the design of a computer interface, UX design encompasses all aspects of a user's perceived experience with a product or website, such as its usability, usefulness, desirability, brand perception, and overall performance.
Psychedelic experienceA psychedelic experience (known colloquially as a trip) is a temporary altered state of consciousness induced by the consumption of a psychedelic substance (most commonly LSD, mescaline, psilocybin mushrooms, or DMT). For example, an acid trip is a psychedelic experience brought on by the use of LSD, while a mushroom trip is a psychedelic experience brought on by the use of psilocybin. Psychedelic experiences feature alterations in normal perception such as visual distortions and a subjective loss of self-identity, sometimes interpreted as mystical experiences.
