The fundamental ideas of user experience can be found as far back as Ancient Greece. There is evidence that Greek civilisations began utilising ergonomic principles in the construction of their tools and workplaces in the fifth century B.C. Another significant figure in the history of user experience design is Henry Dreyfuss, an American industrial engineer who wrote “Designing for People”, which essentially encapsulates user experience design.
World Usability Day was established in November 2005 by the User Experience Professional Association.The association, which was founded in 1991 with 50 members, has expanded to serve a community of nearly 2,400 professionals worldwide by promoting user experience (UX) concepts and techniques through annual international conferences in 30 countries.
