Creating An Adaptive System To Enhance UX

Added on 12 December 2012 Peter Bogaards

Adaptation is the best way to survive.

“The abilities of today’s network information technologies to create rich, immersive personalized experiences to track interactions and aggregate and analyze them in real time, together with the data collected by the sensors we carry in our smart devices, provides us an opportunity like never before to design adaptivity in order to ultimately offer a better user experience that is both unobtrusive and transparent. This article will cover the fundamental concepts for utilizing smart device technologies and sensor data in order to understand context and introduce ‘adaptive thinking’ into the UX professional’s toolset. I will demonstrate the importance of context when designing adaptive experiences, give ideas on how to design adaptive systems, and perhaps inspire designers to consider how smart devices and context aware applications can enhance the user experience with adaptivity.”

‘Aristotle’ (The Knowledge Web)

Added on 7 May 2004 Peter Bogaards

“With the knowledge web, humanity’s accumulated store of information will become more accessible, more manageable, and more useful. Anyone who wants to learn will be able to find the best and the most meaningful explanations of what they want to know. Anyone with something to teach will have a way to reach those who what to learn. Teachers will move beyond their present role as dispensers of information and become guides, mentors, facilitators, and authors. The knowledge web will make us all smarter. The knowledge web is an idea whose time has come.” (W. Daniel Hillis – Edge The Third Culture)

A presentation architecture for individualized content

Added on 21 November 2003 Peter Bogaards

“A current trend in the WWW is the generation of individualized web pages. Individualization as meant as in this article covers the complete range from inserting small pieces of text (such as the user’s name) to composing the complete text of a page depending on properties of the user.” (Alberto Gonzáles Palomo et al. – AH2003 Proceedings)

What is Adaptation?

Added on 12 August 2003 Peter Bogaards

“Many interface designers seeking to build adaptive UIs donít have a good understanding of adaptation. By starting from a more general theory, perhaps the resulting applications will provide richer interaction.” (Carson Reynolds – Do You Know Where You Are?)
