• Akash Srivastava, User Experience Consultant (aks@akashsrivastava.com).
  • USER EXPERIENCE DESIGN - In the era where technologies are seeking new comforts for users, is it worthwhile to design a product without keeping in mind user's acceptance?

Think for a moment….how many interactive products do we use in a day? Mobile Phone, Microwave, Car, ATM, Television etc. How many products do you like to use which are hard to understand? Now this is where an Interaction Designer’s role starts.
