Your help needed for a book on experience design

Dear AIGA Experience Design List Members,

 I'm working up a book about experience design -- also called, ³designing
for experience.²  As potential cases to be featured in the book, I welcome
your suggestions of exemplary experience design, applied to the following:

    * Architecture and urban designs (intended to produce identifiable
experiential outcomes)
    * Cross-media environments (e.g., so-called ³real-world games² employing
various media )
    * Customer experiences (processes as well as physical artifacts)
    * Exhibitions, museums, and learning centers
    * Experiences for education
    * Experiences for entertainment
    * Games and simulations (in the ³real world,² not just on-screen)
    * Haptic environments (acoustic, tactile, scent, motion, etc.)
    * Immersive environments (virtual and physical)
    * Integrated marketing (synergistic scored experiences)
    * Landscape architecture and interpretive environments
    * Longitudinal experiences (single or multiple related experiences that
occur over time)
    * Themed attractions, theme parks, and themed destinations
    * Workplaces and ³third places² (places that are social, apart from the
workplace and home)

These categories overlap. It doesn't matter at this time precisely into
which category a case falls, or whether it's for a client or experimental.
Also, if you have an example of experience design that doesn't fit within
the categories, send it along anyway. Our field is growing like Topsy: there
are always new expressions and formats. Also, I'm interested in instances
where research methodologies, like usability and ethnography; and
application methodologies, like interaction design, wayfinding, and
corporate narrative, have contributed to successful experience designs.

As for the much-debated ³user experience,² I'm interested in on-screen
presentations and discrete product designs if they were integral parts of
more complex designed experiences (for example, integrated media campaigns,
the interior of a vehicle, or exhibitions).

Please be sure to include with each case suggestion a point of contact
(email and phone if you have them). The POC should be an individual
associated with the case project, with whom I can arrange the case's
submission for review. Send your suggestions to my Gmail address (below).
Please include in the Subject Line, ³Experience Case:² and the case's
working name. I'd appreciate it also if you'd share this invitation with
your friends and, if you're a blog author, your readers. Thank you!

 Bob
