In this context, it aimed to specify the most suitable medium and type of interface according to the meditation expertise of the user, as well as other factors such as age or technologic ease.

During the second phase, I developed a smartphone application based on the first learnings, combining pragmatic and hedonic scenarios. In order to evaluate both user interface (UI) and user experience [...]
