In order to propose relevant concepts and successful innovative products, designers need to anticipate as early as possible the user experience that will emerge from actual use of the product they are developing. The way the designer imagines the qualities of the product has strong consequences for the possible experience that will be available to the user. However, it is very difficult to accurately anticipate the actual experience of the user; and the lack of knowledge concerning the final user is particularly drastic in the case of high-technology applications, where the potentialities of the technology are hugely superior to the acceptability of the final users.
