I can't believe no one has said this yet in this thread: "There is no difference between UCD and UX"
While on a certain level I agree that UCD is a philosophy and collection of methods UX area all the qualities of a system that a user experiences Usability is ONE aspect of those qualities (see honeycomb ala morville) I can also also see that it just doesn't matter! Depending on the audience. e.g. UCD is a specific philosophy in a historical context amongst a specific group of people. UX is a description of quality of experience and describes those people who are put in charge of designing and validating that experience But in another context and historical perspective both are just well DESIGN w/o labels. And for many the w/o labels part of it is just way too confusing, and doesn't match their own experience. The point is, who are you talking to, and why? -- dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
