Difference Between UI and UX
- User Interface (UI): A collection of elements (e.g., text fields, buttons).
- User Experience (UX): The overall experience of interacting with the interface, identifying users and requirements, and meeting those requirements.
- UI is the interaction point between the user and the system (tangible). UI is a component of the overall UX.
- UX is the interaction itself (subjective and difficult to measure). UX includes the entire process of design, focusing on human behavior.
- UI requires creative and convergent design, focusing on content presentation.
- UX requires creative and critical design, focusing on context, determining future use, and understanding users.
