ABSTRACT
This paper attempts to explain intuitiveness of software engineering techniques with user experience (UX) concepts. It describes a model of relationships between intuitiveness of software techniques and refined understanding of UX for software technology. It covers both intuitiveness at the starting point and the dynamics of transforming episodic UX to cumulative UX and perception of intuitiveness. Then, it discusses potential application of this model. Finally, it presents examples of explanations resulting from the model.

The Usability Metric for User Experience
The Usability Metric for User Experience (UMUX) is a four-item Likert scale used for the subjective assessment of an application's perceived usability. It is designed to provide results similar to those obtained with the 10-item System Usability Scale, ...
Implications for designing the user experience of DVD menus
CHI EA '05: CHI '05 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsDVD menus often miss out on usability and are complex and difficult to navigate through. One of the main problems is the lack of design standards. By conducting an expert walkthrough we identified typical usability issues of DVD menus and verified them ...
