ABSTRACT
Designing a user experience is a multi-disciplinary field. While different points of view and diverse approaches are recommended due to the variety of its nature, understanding a user is important in ensuring quality outcomes in all approaches. In this paper, we describe practical user research approaches that we applied in our user experience design process for consumer electronics, approaches that can be performed with limited time and resources. These techniques have been applied in major user experience design stages including understanding user requirements, establishing design strategy, and conducting usability evaluations.

Informing user experience design about users: insights from practice
CHI EA '12: CHI '12 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn this paper we explore what type of information from end-users designers find useful for early concept evaluations. We addressed the question through a study where user feedback taken from a real design project was assessed by four designers working ...
