And here we are, this time the last article of the series that started with UX Patterns: Learn how to take advantage of them , then a second part with a library with definitions and examples for UX patterns (do never confuse them with UI patterns!) and finally this...
This is the continuation on the previous article on UI Patterns vs UX Patterns . When I began the article mentioned above, my initial goal was to create a concise and straightforward guide. I intended to provide clarifications and examples to help readers, especially those new to the field...
UX patterns are one of the most common tools used by user experience (UX) designers, including myself. These patterns allow us to reference both design elements and user behavior patterns, helping us create better experiences by using methods that have been tested thousands or even millions of times.

Introduction: What is a research methodology? Research methodologies are the ultimate tool for UX design in all its different aspects and varieties, from digital design to physical UX design, from service design to customer experience, and from usability to accessibility. These research methodologies guide your research process and can...
Introduction to Qualitative Research Qualitative methodology provides an avenue for exploring the many facets of human experiences and social interactions that are often neglected by purely numerical or statistical approaches. Therefore, qualitative research is one of the cornerstones of UX research. While quantitative methods give us valuable insights through...
Introduction to Quantitative Methodology Quantitative methodology, at its core, refers to the systematic investigation of phenomena using statistical, mathematical, or computational techniques. In research, this method places emphasis on objective measurements and numerical analysis of data collected through polls, questionnaires, or surveys. Such data, often presented in the form...
Introduction to Affordances: The Multidisciplinary Concept Definition and Origin Affordance is a term that is applied across various disciplines, including psychology, HCI, architecture, industrial design, and UX. The concept originally encompassed “all possible actions from/with/towards an object.” Over time, other fields, particularly those under the UX umbrella, refined this...
In the competitive landscape of today’s digital world, persuasive design has become a key concept. It’s not about manipulating users but rather guiding them towards actions that align with their needs and desires. By understanding users and applying specific design principles and techniques, designers can create experiences that resonate...
Interactive design is probably the most exciting area on UX. From purely digital experiences to physical UX, accessibility, IoT, and everything in between, we’re accustomed to an interactive world...
Welcome to yet another article on UX and Artificial Intelligence. This time we’ll see what is human centered machine learning. But first thing first… What is human-centered machine learning? Human Centered Machine Learning, also referred to as Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HCAI or HAI), is an approach to developing and...
Sensorial branding is a strategy to create impactful user experiences (UX) that elevate ordinary brand initiatives. Beyond mere images or names, the branding realm is expanding into a broader landscape.

How to design a Quantum UX project? After the introductory article to Quantum UX I received some critical messages (fortunately mostly positive) and some inquiries. In general, these inquiries mostly revolved around the apparent difficulty of designing and implementing a project with Quantum UX. I hope that this article...
We need to create better UIs for everyone. That’s a given. Yet it’s common for UX and UI designers to struggle with user interfaces that cater to people with...
Assistive technologies and accessible interfaces are two of the most important areas in user experience design, especially when considering Universal Design and Accessibility. People with Parkinson Disease (or PD, as it is also called) need special consideration, as you may imagine. Keep in mind, however, that most of these...
Artificial intelligence and UX goes hand in hand. After my posts about Quantum UX and XMI, many people contacted us asking about practical uses of Quantum UX (it’s as...
Do we need new UX User categorizations? And if so, how and why? Are there any benefits or is it just a fad? Let’s try to answer these questions in this article. In the article HCI: Great user experiences are meant only for humans… or not? we saw how...
This is the second part of the article about the history of user experience, which starts with User Experience History: More than 100 years of amazing wonders. If you came to this page from an external link or search engine, we recommend you start with the first part. The...
So I think we needed to have something about Physical UX and how installation design will improve user experience. In this case, I’ll demonstrate this with mathematical theory (remember: UX is a science!). There’s a bit of Urban UX involved, hope you like it. A question about installation design...
