User Interface Design and UX Design: 80+ Important Research Papers Covering Peer-Reviewed and Informal Studies Important peer-reviewed and informally published recent research on user interface design and user experience (UX) design. For the benefit of clients and colleagues we have culled a list of approximately 70 curated recent research publications dealing with user interface design, UX design and e-commerce optimization. In our opinion these publications represent some of the best formal research thinking on UI and UX design. These papers are also among the most widely downloaded and cited formal research on UI / UX design. We have referenced many of these studies in our work at MauroNewMedia.

Quick Prototyping Tools for Emerging Technologies Just 25 of our go-to tools for learning about the potential of new technologies Here at IDEO CoLab, to say that we’re fans of prototyping is an understatement. We’re constantly prototyping. In 2017, we’ve already built over 93 prototypes — and the year’s not over yet. We believe that prototyping helps us get closer to the future. Only by building a fleshed out prototype can we get a sense of its challenges and possibilities, revealing insights that give us a glimpse of where emerging technologies like blockchain, AI, IoT, and XR can take us.

When to Use Which User-Experience Research Methods The field of user experience has a wide range of research methods available, ranging from tried-and-true methods such as lab-based usability studies to those that have been more recently developed, such as unmoderated online UX assessments.

Unfortunately many design teams only use one or two methods that they are familiar with.
