Customer Experience Tracking

Profile and Objective

The Customer Experience Tracking laboratory deals with methods and techniques of tracking the customers’ experience both in teaching and applied research. As part of CXT latest technologies and new approaches to research are combined with the objective of identifying and evaluating consumers’ requirements for products and services. Besides it aims at developing solution approaches for the optimization of services. The use and combination of proven methods of measurement of user experience and their enrichment by valid measurements of customers’ emotions during their purchase process are fundamental for innovative research approaches. Combined with established user experience measurement technologies and methods, e.g. expert evaluation, questionnaire, eye tracking, skin conductance and Think Aloud, a mimic measurement provides the opportunity to gain information about the customer's experienced feelings, triggered by specific stimuli (e.g. images, texts, prices).
