Re: The Essential Characteristics of User Experience (a language of critique)

Thanks Denise, the funny thing about ''context" is that without any
qualifier its actually an oxymoron ;-)

I don't think we can simply say that "context" by itself is
important - we have to say that within the "relevance"
characteristic (for example) its important to put the experience into
the context of the user (and situation/time/place/etc). Within the
"control" characteristic its important to put control elements
within the context of the aspects of the experience that they control
... and so on with the other characteristics.

So for me, "context" is a technique (a very important one) to make
each of the 5 characteristics more effective.
