Serious question for computer touchers:

What are the differences, if any, between "user interface" and "user experience"?

I guessed a few things just from the names, but many seem to use these terms interchangeably leading to confusion.

#UX #UI #AskFedi

@book They say a picture is worth a thousands words... neocat_woozy

Two photos of a train and a bus. The top photo shows a school bus, labeled UI (user interface), parked while a train can be seen in the background. The bottom photo shows the train, labeled UX (user experience), plowing through the bus without slowing down.

@catsalad @book I really like the ketchup example. Two different UI that at first look only differ by the visual style can lead to completely different UI.

Two different bottles of ketchup - one that is supposed to stand as usual bottles and the other that stands bottom up. The user struggles to get ketchup from first bottle and really enjoys how easy ketchup flows from the second bottle.
