Properties of Rich User Experience

RUE combines function & form, substance & style, and art & science. RUE applications are incredible, extraordinary, and sophisticated applications that are highly useful and usable. They show off their industrial robustness while making no apologies for their striking elegance. They cleverly address both the front-end and the back-end. On the front-end, RUE applications are stunning, compelling, engaging, enticing, entertaining, exciting, connected, dynamic, alive, immersive, interactive, collaborative, intuitive, customizable, personable, and beautiful. On the back-end, RUE applications are scalable, reliable, portable, flexible, extensible, expandable, adaptable, maintainable, manageable, reusable, accessible, searchable, available, resilient, robust, agile, unobtrusive, responsive, efficient, secure, and private. RUE applications include user-centric or task-centric taxonomies or folksonomies, social features, intelligence, remembrance, self-learning, and self-diagnosis with the capability of making recommendations based on users’ preferences, behaviors, and attitudes.
User Experience is defined by Peter Morville as a honeycomb which is an extension of Jesse James Garrett’s UX diagram.
