Quoting and Tractinsky, researchers Ardito et. al. in their positioning paper titled "Towards evaluation of User Experience", talk about influences on User Experience. Three things are highlighted: The user, the interaction and the Object (which is being perceived). Ardito quotes: “user’s internal state (predispositions, expectations, needs, motivation, mood, etc.), the characteristics of the designed system (e.g. complexity, purpose, usability, functionality, etc.) and the context (or the environment) within which the interaction occurs (e.g. organisational/social setting, meaningfulness of the activity, voluntariness of use, etc.).”
I found a very interesting parallel to what Sri. Adi Sankaracharya (ancient Advaitic philosopher from India) discusses in his text titled Drig, Drishya Vivekam. In this text (Seer, Seen, Sight), the focus is on this triangle. However, Sri. Adi Sankaracharya dwells more on the Seer / User and not neccesarily on the interaction or on the object being perceived.
In my work I am more curious on the two that Sri. Adi Sankaracharya left out. I am curious about we can engineer fun in our work.
