As mobile technologies continue to get smaller and more capable, they are beginning to disappear from our physical awareness without letting go of our attention \u2013 in fact, they are cleverly meshing our physical and digital worlds into an enhanced form of attention. &nbsp;This is possible because mobile media can be context aware: they are our first media to be about us \u2013 where we are, who we\u2019re with, etc, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>523 Inspiration:<\/strong>&nbsp; &nbsp;<strong>Experience Design<\/strong>&nbsp;is what mobile technologies were born to enable. &nbsp;All of our other media have only been able to delivery monolithic linear narratives. &nbsp;The opportunity to author open, social, synchronous, real-world narratives that weave the web into everyday life is unliteral &amp; unnatural for us. &nbsp;Welcome to the new natural, if you\u2019re bold enough to author it. &nbsp;The opportunities for learning are breathtaking. So&nbsp;<strong>Experience Design<\/strong>&nbsp;is not about optimizing the usability of a device or an application,&nbsp;<em>it is about optimizing the usefulness of the real world around you<\/em>. You might think of it as the programming language for an AI that will eventually be your very personal agent as you go about your daily existence: how can you seamlessly integrate ambient contexts and affordances of location, time, season, the people you\u2019re with, the things you enjoy, the things you are most interested in, your immediate objectives, your health, etc, into an augmented ongoing experience of life? All of this is possible, and inevitable, through the magic of that device in your hand, so how do we make it happen?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discussion: &nbsp;You\u2019ve heard of product design, graphic design, fashion design, interior design, etc, but perhaps not&nbsp;Experience Design, which&nbsp;is the invisible frontier of human engagement. &nbsp;UX&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/2025\/09\/01\/experience-design-8\/\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Experience Design<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":257,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-w01-frontiers-poll","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11648","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11648"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11648\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11649,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11648\/revisions\/11649"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11648"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11648"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
