I still wonder how the P.A.C.E. model would map on the Elements model.
Would one simply replace the Visual layer with Perception or Emotion? Where would Action and Cognition go? Interaction Design and Information Design? Naah.
What about replacing the Visual layer with Engagement as a whole? Or does Engagement start much earlier, maybe even as early as Business Needs? If I am right, Adaptive Path believes Engagement starts that early, right?
Thoughts?
As for "engagement" as the ultimate success metric, I can't say I'm completely on board. Not in all cases. Social app's, sure. Games, absolutely. For more practical applications (Quicken, etc.), though, less engagement might sometimes be more. There seems great danger, too, in equating experience design with art, such as Beethoven's. People experience everything. That doesn't make people who make everything UX designers. And designer's who blur the real distinctions between art and design risk losing the better part of each.
That said, as Joseph Campbell put it: "I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive." One thing that I agree makes people feel alive is flow ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology) ) as defined in Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's great book, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience (1990)
Further food for though, I hope.
