User experience evolves in accordance with users' attitudes, habits, and personality, as well as their prior experiences. Even though there are attempts to holistically frame the long-term experience of interactive products, there is still debate on how to guide designers in the design process of those products. To tackle this issue, this paper proposes the usage of Path of Long-Term User Experience (PLUX) model in design process. To interrogate the usefulness of the model, we conducted two studies. First, we adopted, adapted and tested the applicability of the backcasting approach, together with the visual materials that could be used in the design process. Following this, we tested the effectiveness of using the PLUX model as a guidance tool in designing interactive products. The PLUX model together with the backcasting approach helps designers to better ground their decisions in the design process and to find ways to enrich long-term user experience. The stages of user experience as well as the human and product-related qualities of the PLUX model facilitated in-depth reflection, and espoused creative interpretations of these qualities for ideation. However, the high level of detail is found limiting at times, depending on the ways the model is utilised.

The dimensions of users' fun experiences with consumer products Cila, Nazlı; Erbuğ, Çiğdem; Department of Industrial Design (2008) User experience (UX) is a multi-dimensional user-product interaction involving positive and emotional usage. Fun experience is a component of UX which maintains distinctive dimensions. In this study these dimensions of the fun concept, namely the nature of the experience, the qualities of products that take place in the experience, and the emotional content of the fun experiences are investigated. The thesis is supported by arguments collected from the literature and the data from two empirical studies.
Exploration of user experience of personal informatics systems Kuru, Armağan; Erbuğ, Çiğdem; Department of Industrial Design (2013) Many people use personal informatics systems to gather personal behavioral data, make better decisions, and make changes to their behavior. While the proliferation of new products on the market makes collecting personal data easier, how to help people engage with these systems over a long period of time remains an open question. To uncover which features of personal informatics systems lead to engaging experience and long-term use, two user studies were conducted with people who use personal informatics sys...
Evaluation of Construct Elicitation as a Research Method to Obtain Design-Relevant Data from Children Süner, Sedef ; Erbuğ, Çiğdem (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2016-8-10) Understanding user requirements and how users give meaning to their own experiences related to products is a significant input in the design of products that are acceptable to the target users. This issue becomes more important when designing for children due to our adult preconceptions about what they can and cannot do, and what they like or do not like. Although incorporating children's input into design process has been well-acknowledged in research practices, the dominant tendency is to involve children...
Assessing the Effect of E-Commerce Intelligent Bots on Online Consumers' Post-adoption Behavior for Future Use Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2014-06-01) Having conducted many investigations on initial acceptance of information systems using intelligent bots by researchers recently, this study would rather research the post-adoption behavior of online consumers in the online service field. Researchers understand that acquiring a new consumer for a specific service costs five times more than retaining existing consumer. Intelligent bots are intelligent and automated software which assist customers to make the best decision by providing high quality suggestion...
Eye Tracking Scanpath Analysis on Web Pages: How Many Users? Eraslan, Sukru; Yesilada, Yeliz; Harper, Simon (2016-03-17) The number of users required for usability studies has been a controversial issue over 30 years. Some researchers suggest a certain number of users to be included in these studies. However, they do not focus on eye tracking studies for analysing eye movement sequences of users (i.e., scanpaths) on web pages. We investigate the effects of the number of users on scanpath analysis with our algorithm that was designed for identifying the most commonly followed path by multiple users. Our experimental results su...
