The Spheres of Technology Experience
A reference sheet visualizing the Spheres of Technology Experience framework. When we talk about supporting wellbeing determinants and psychological needs it’s important to understand there are different spheres of experience in which these can be influenced. For example, a technology might be autonomy-supportive from the software interaction perspective but not in relation to the real-world activity it’s intended to support. This reference sheet can help keep team members on the same page in conversations to do with wellbeing support.

Goal/Challenge Layers
Every project has goals and challenges driven by different disciplinary teams. While user and stakeholder goals may be the focus of a UX team, the developers may be tackling various technical challenges. Work in wellbeing-supportive design will additionally have goals and challenges related to psychological wellbeing. Use this worksheet to think about what kinds of wellbeing goals or challenges are relevant to your project.Sharing
