Object-Oriented UX (OOUX) is a process and structured approach to designing digital products by focusing on the objects that users interact with, rather than the actions they take. OOUX helps designers create more user-friendly and efficient digital products by promoting a shared understanding between designers and developers, leading to more effective collaboration and faster development cycles.
OOUX typically involves the following steps:
Object Identification: Identify the core objects that make up your product and that are relevant to the user's mental model.
Object Relationships: Define how these objects relate to each other, creating a structured information architecture.
Object Attributes: Determine the key properties and characteristics of each object.
Object Actions: Define the actions that users can take on these objects.
Information Architecture: Organise the objects and their relationships into a clear and intuitive structure.
User Interface Design: Design the user interface based on the object-oriented structure, ensuring a consistent and intuitive experience.
