👉 Perceived computing refers to the subjective experience users have when interacting with a computing system, encompassing their sense of control, efficiency, and satisfaction. It's about how seamlessly and intuitively a user feels when using technology, influenced by factors like system responsiveness, ease of navigation, and the overall user interface design. When computing feels smooth and effortless, users perceive it as more efficient and enjoyable, even if the underlying technical performance might be average or below expectations. This perception significantly impacts user satisfaction and can drive adoption, loyalty, and even influence the design decisions of developers and companies.
