What is Rich User Experience

Chapter 8
Handbook of Research on Web 2.0, 3.0, and X.0: Technologies, Business, and Social Applications
The experience of a user using traditional Web applications and websites is characterized by the Click-Wait-and-Refresh-Cycle and the available set of user interface components. Thus, a rich experience is built up by adding additional interface components and behaviors and the Click-Wait-and-Refresh-Cycle is avoided by retrieving and presenting data from the server without refreshing the whole page.

Abstract
An important aspect of Web 2.0, mentioned by Tim O’Reilly, is the rich user experience. Web 2.0 applications offer the user a desktop-like interface to bring back efficiency and productivity. The click-wait-andrefresh- cycle of normal Web applications leads to a less responsive, and thus less efficient, user interface. To serve the needs of these so-called rich Internet applications (RIA), many different approaches have emerged, based either on Web standards or on proprietary approaches. This chapter aims at defining a qualified criterion system for comparing RIA platforms. Thereafter, those RIA platforms are selected and analyzed in terms of the criterion system that is most likely to become widely accepted.
