It’s not about you; it’s USER-centered design
Just because you think it’s cool doesn’t make it cool. Does the customer think it’s cool? The objective for most in-venue interactive is either: attract, engage or transact – or some combination thereof. While striving to connect with the customer, it’s important that the experience doesn’t result in a frustrating one, therefore the user and the user experience (UX) must be at the center of all design.
