User Interface

the

User Experience

the user experience encompasses all the tasks users perform with a computer. This includes taking the computer out of the box and hooking up the cables, booting up the computer, and installing and using hardware and software.

Many parts of the user experience include things users see on the screen, including words, dialog boxes, icons, images, and animations. Other important parts of the user experience are not visible or even tangible. These include how long the user has to wait for a program to start up, how the computer handles errors, and which tasks happen automatically without the user starting them.

It's useful to compare the terms "user interface" and "user experience." A user interface requires action by users to accomplish a task, while a great user experience can be achieved with no user interface.
