This document discusses designing for experience and the importance of qualia, which are the actual qualities of personal experience. It argues that experience is more than just interfaces or technology, and that experiential qualities must be distinguished from object properties. These qualities, or qualia, include factors like emotions, mood, and environment that influence experiences. The document also presents an experience profile assessment tool to help discover and identify qualia in context and assess experiences. The goal is to help designers create better experiences by understanding and focusing on qualia.
