Tiivistelmä
This thesis describes the design methods and the process of creating an interface and a usability experience for a busbar machine, which was constructed in five months during the third and the fourth quarter of 2019.
The examines the theory of how to assess user experience and then considers how this knowledge was converted into practice in a field where efficiency is the key to success, without trying to sacrifice approachability and understandability, which are easily overlooked when the party that buys the product is not the party that operates the product.
The information presented in this thesis is gathered from some of the latest books available in the field as well as some classic foundation writings of their kind. The observations and imagery are the results of trial and error in attempting to fit the fields of engineering and user experience together, to make a product that is greater than the sum of its parts.
The thesis ends with a conclusion section that describes the outcome of the process and juxtaposes the needs and motives of marketing, engineering and good user experience.
