Design can serve as the connector between people and technology. Each technological development creates new and unique experience. In relation, user centered methods can be utilized for understanding the way people wish to use and interact with technological products. It is recently argued that experience of and interaction with certain products or systems is different each time. One important point in experience is that it is subjective, private and personal. Experience of each person is different from one another, as abilities, motivations and expectations of each person can be different. While a specific technology can cause positive experience for one person, it can cause negative results for another. There are several frameworks in UX literature focusing on experience of users with systems, products or specific kind technologies. Refining and redesigning these frameworks is required to help the designers to get the most benefit from the HCI and design literature. User experience brings a holistic perspective on user-product interactions. Even though various definitions are made, a common ground is observed in defining the dimensions of experience. As a result, the aim of this paper is to explore the models that explain the user experience of technological products and put forward a holistic picture of user experience of technological products.
