Abstract
The concept of user experience has been popularized and widely accepted in Taiwan. With it, many companies have successfully transformed from OEM into ODM, and even built international brands by establishing internal user experience design departments. However, the current user experience research and design in Taiwan focusing too much on mainstream products is going to make the field become another red ocean. In order to prevent another outbreak of price war, the Taiwanese government has put in extensive resources to assist a Taiwanese well-known brand companies in R&D, expecting to develop and establish a new product benchmark via the researching on special consumer groups. This research introduce an actual government funded project of ASUS focusing on developing an electronic platform for a special consumer group, Tzu Chi. By going through a series of user experience design and research process, we retrieve some valuable points which could be beneficial to the design of future e-reader.
