Spheres of Technology Experience - Framework

The spheres framework articulate six different levels at which technologies can influence our wellbeing. 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.
