Good feelings through positive user experience
This year, the international World Usability Day is held on November 14th. Joining the global event, Idean Research organizes several events on the day with one common theme: Feeling good. Good usability and positive user experience make the user feel good while using the product or a service; this is the goal!
Idean Research and Idean Creative challenge product developers to think about how they can enrich their users' life through good product design. We invite developers to share their experiences to the rest of the community.
The day consists of the following events:
- street promotion, generating good mood to people on the streets
- professional seminar where product developers and usability professionals can share their success stories
- evening get-together, with dinner and entertainment
This site, ParempiMieli.com, promotes sharing good feelings:
- share an positive experience that made you feel good by using Kehuttomaatti
- pass it forward by sending your friend an e-card
