- 53. Interaction Design 53
- 54. Besides general design ... Information Activity Structure Flow Relationships Process Content Procedure People Language Perception/Cognition rhetorics Ergonomics poetics Behavioral Economics semiotics Socio-cultural 54
- 55. What is interaction design? Interactivity? Technology management? Dialog aesthetics? Web? (the network)? 55
- 56. Try this ... Interaction Design is the attempt to use abductive processes towards elegant & beautiful solutions for helping people mitigate the increased critical mass of complexity caused by technology. The designer does this by imagining new futures inspired by insights gained through intentionally experiencing, describing, and analyzing specific contexts. 56
- 57. NOPE! That’s just design Just change “technology” for “culture”. 57
- 58. Was that always “design”? 58 I have come to believe that IxD is more a school of design than itʼs own discipline. That in the practice of every other major design discipline what we have learned through the creation of interaction design can be applied. This is not to say that IxD is everything but that IxD is everywhere. It is a tool to be wielded by every designer regardless of medium or connection to technology. and yet … It really isnʼt that simple.
