10 examples for good user experience by Laura Fluga
Fig 5.0 10 examples for good UX

From the example and the explanation that have written we know what is a good user experience is.

For example, good design is invisible—meaning the user doesn’t notice the design while they are using it. Users only need to focus on the task at hand.

One of the example :Nes Thermostat


Fig 5.1 Nest Thermostat
  • Nest using learning algorithms to allow their thermostat to set itself without being programmed by the user. 
  • Invisible : the design is literally unseen by the user. 
  • Smart technology is great in principle, but only work sometimes, users need to have override control.
