  • Abstract
    This paper discusses the role of usefulness, usability, and user experience in a startup company focusing on location-based applications. In just three years, the emphasis of design moved from usefulness to UX, resulting in opening new market segments, getting several new licensees, and learning quite a lot along the way. The learning process is discussed by the means of Action Track, a versatile but user-friendly authoring tool for developing location-based activities.
