Title 
"Experience-centred design: Progress and prospects²
 
Abstract 
The concept of user experience and experience design has been with us in HCI
research since  the late nineties. But how much of a difference has it made
to HCI theory and practice? In 2003, John McCarthy and I published
Technology as Experience in which we tried to lay some
foundations for developing an approach to experience-centred design. In
2004, I received EPSRC funding to explore research at the intersection of
the arts, humanities and interaction
design and to develop theory and method for experience-centred design. In
this talk I will report on progress towards these goals and critically
reflect on experience-centred design in HCI research more generally.
