About
This thesis discusses terminology used in the area of designing user interactions and experiences, an area influencing our everyday lives. To be specific, it focuses on five selected fields: user experience design, interaction design, user interface design, user-centered design and human-computer interaction. The reason for this selection is a confusion in terminology caused by mutual substitutions of the terms and their insensitive misinterpretation. In five individual chapters, the paper clarifies what exactly each term describes and where its boundaries are. With the help of examples illustrating improper application of the terms, we identify the discrepancies between different ways of employing them and try to formulate probable causes of it. Every chapter contains a comparison of the fields and an attempt to devise a Czech equivalent for the term concerned. Throughout the thesis we stumble across additional terms from the same milieu such as empathic design, non intentional design, service design and others. The paper also provides wealth of relevant context and background information.
