Estrés Digital y Experiencia de Interacción: Análisis Comparativo de una Interfaz Basada en Scroll y una Interfaz Optimizada Mediante Principios UI/UX
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-07-09) Mateus Cabra, Miguel Angel; Cabra Sánchez, Juan Enrique; Acuña Najar, José Alejandro; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0002170112
This research analyzes the influence of different web interface design strategies on interaction experience and factors associated with digital stress, based on a comparative study conducted at the Santo Tomás University, Tunja campus. Two prototypes of informational web interfaces were designed: a functional version based on continuous scrolling and a version optimized using UI/UX design principles with progressive interactivity. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, with a descriptive and comparative scope, grounded in a quasi-experimental design. Participants interacted with both interfaces, which were then evaluated through surveys, participant observation, and usability tests using a Likert scale. The results showed an improvement in the dimensions of visual clarity and navigation and control for the optimized interface, facilitating information comprehension and orientation within the interface. However, the differences observed in the dimensions of cognitive load, frustration, and perceived digital stress were less favorable, suggesting that the incorporation of UI/UX principles improved aspects related to visual organization and navigation, but did not produce a proportional decrease in the perceived mental effort or frustration experienced by the participants. Consequently, it is concluded that UI/UX design decisions directly influence the interaction experience and constitute a relevant factor in reducing or intensifying factors associated with digital stress, providing evidence on the importance of user-centered design for promoting digital well-being in web interface development.

Aika
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-06-10) Bustinza Vargas, Nathan Hael; Cabra Sánchez, Juan Enrique; Universidad Santo Tomás
This research-creation document examines interactive design and audiovisual narratives as mechanisms for social visibility and emotional catharsis within the PIXELES research group (2026). The core of the study is centered on "Aika," a creative-research project addressing future-oriented hopelessness and generational distress among university students aged 20 to 24. Grounded in Beck's Cognitive Model and the structural pressures of globalization, a mixed-methods diagnostic phase revealed that 78.1% of the sample experiences hopelessness and 70.3% suffers from chronological anxiety. As a plastic response, a silent animated short film was structured around the "Hero's Journey" framework, leveraging character design and concept art as vehicles for resilience and the symbolic translation of psychological distress. In tandem, the creative praxis incorporates "Leyva's Odyssey," a gaming prototype addressing touristification in Villa de Leyva, Colombia. Based on local testimonies, the video game implements meaningful interaction mechanics to prompt ethical dilemmas and foster empathy toward native residents. Collectively, this work demonstrates the capacity of artistic practice and conceptual design to transmute psychosocial and territorial conflicts into aesthetic discourses of high critical density.
Ux Wave
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-07-24) Borda, Sebastian; Manrique, Frank; Rojas, Oscar; Acuña, Alejandro
UX Wave is an interactive and transmedia design magazine whose main objective is to disseminate both academic and relevant articles. The idea for developing this magazine arose in collaboration with the program's improvement plan, which primarily focused on having a product to showcase or further publicize the program and what better way to simultaneously keep students informed of design trends and events both within the school and externally. For the first edition of the magazine, a methodology was applied that combined qualitative, design, and design approaches. We used references, for example, for the brand manual, conducted testing and analysis of previous data, and, as part of the research, analyzed similar magazines and digital media. Based on the above, and as a result of the objectives set at the beginning of the project, we generated a first version of the magazine, which applied different tools learned in the program and broadened the understanding of design as a communicative discipline. The result is the publication of a journal for both academic and professional contexts, with the potential to continue growing and transform into a permanent space for reflection and analysis on UX.

Patas en Acción: Elaboración de Estrategia de Diseño de Interacción Comunitaria para Promover el Bienestar Animal
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-07-22) Martínez Roldán, Vanesa Alejandra; Acuña Najar, Jose Alejandro; Universidad Santo Tomás
This degree project falls within the field of Interaction Design with a social and community focus, and aims to understand and intervene in the sociocultural dynamics surrounding canine and feline sterilization processes, as well as animal health in urban contexts. Based on a case study of the Patas Arriba Mobile Veterinary Unit in the city of Tunja (Boyacá, Colombia) and some pet owners in the Santa Inés and Libertador neighborhoods, a community-centered design strategy is proposed to strengthen animal welfare and facilitate access to clear and timely information regarding the health of their pets. The project is based on a research approach using qualitative methods and participatory design tools, integrating aspects such as animal welfare, public health, the construction of the subject living in society, and the user experience in community contexts. As a result, an interface for an intuitive mobile application is developed, which acts as a bridge between veterinary knowledge, community actions, and the daily needs of animal guardians. This tool seeks not only to improve the experience, but also to activate processes of appropriation and co-responsibility in animal care at the social level. From the framework of Interaction Design, the project contributes to the reflection on how both digital and analog designed experiences can respond to an ethical, social, and dynamic perspective. In this approach, the user experience is not conceived as an isolated interaction, but as part of a network of collective practices, relationships of trust, and generational exchanges. Whether through a mobile application or direct interaction at animal welfare conferences, the aim is to generate a meaningful, coherent, and functional experience that promotes active participation and commitment to animal welfare as a shared social value. Keywords Interaction design, animal welfare, user experience, community, sterilization, public health, participation.

Práctica empresarial - Pesquera del mar
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-06-06) Ramírez Alvarado, Natalia; Acuña Najar, Jose Alejandro; Universidad Santo Tomas
This report talks about my internship at the company Pesquera del Mar, concerning the areas of design and digital communication, focused on the user experience (UX) and the production of multimedia content. I participated in these activities while freeing up time to get involved in other initiatives, all of which improved the company's online presence and the organization and usability of the site. A large part of my role was to create audiovisual content, particularly recipe videos to post on social networks. These contents not only advertised the brand's products, but also managed to resonate emotionally with users with useful and entertaining content appropriate to the company's visual identity. I was in the recording, editing and post-production of the videos so that they could be published in the required format for the various media (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok). I prepared assignments analyzing the website and e-commerce platform, finding elements to improve the way content is organized, visual hierarchy, consistency in product display and navigation flow. I presented observations and suggestions on how they can improve from a usability and UX design standpoint by restructuring their information architecture, product descriptions and visually complementary elements for the user.
