ABSTRACT
An alternative paradigm to longitudinal studies of user experience is proposed. We illustrate this paradigm through a number of recent tool-based methods. We conclude by raising a number of challenges that we need to address in order to establish this paradigm as a fruitful alternative to longitudinal studies.

Reconstructing experiences with iScale
We present iScale, a survey tool for the retrospective elicitation of longitudinal user experience data. iScale aims to minimize retrospection bias and employs graphing to impose a process during the reconstruction of one's experiences. Two versions, ...
