  2. Presentation overview • What is interaction? • What is interaction design? • Why is it important? • What is the focus of interaction designers? • What are the main principles? Design as Interaction IMKE 2006 Jaan Saar

  3. What is interaction? [N. Shedroff] • Conversations • Most Storytelling • (Productivity) Applications • Playing Soccer IT IS NOT! • CD-ROMs • Content • Reading a Book Design as Interaction IMKE 2006 Jaan Saar

  4. What is Interaction Design? • Design as Interaction = Interaction Design • Interaction Design (IxD) is: • ...the art of facilitating or instigating interactions between humans (or their agents), mediated by products. • ...concerned with the behavior of products, with how products work. [D. Safford] • ...a design discipline dedicated to Defining the behavior of artifacts, environments, and systems (i.e., products) [R. Reimann] Design as Interaction IMKE 2006 Jaan Saar

  5. Typical IxD Examples Design as Interaction IMKE 2006 Jaan Saar

  6. Why is IxD important? • Interaction design is related to software engineering in the same way architecture is related to civil engineering.[T. Winograd] VS Design as Interaction IMKE 2006 Jaan Saar

  7. Why is IxD important? • Programmers are not the best designers. They must decide between accommodating the user and their own ease of programming. VS Design as Interaction IMKE 2006 Jaan Saar

  8. Why is IxD important? • Good engineering is what makes it happen. But interaction design is what makes it approachable for people to use [D.Saffer] Design as Interaction IMKE 2006 Jaan Saar

  9. What is the focus of Interaction Designers? • Solve problems both analytically and creatively • Visualize and simplify complex systems • Empathize with users, their needs, and their aspirations • Understand the strengths and limitations of both humans and technology • Share a passion for making the world a better place through ethical, purposeful, pragmatic, and elegant design solutions Design as Interaction IMKE 2006 Jaan Saar

  10. What are the principles of Interaction Design? • Anticipation • Autonomy • Color Bindness • Consistency • Defaults • Efficiency of the User • Explorable Interfaces • Human Interface Objects • Latency Reduction • Learnability • Metaphors • Protect the User's Work • Readability • Track State • Visible Interfaces • Fitts’ Law Design as Interaction IMKE 2006 Jaan Saar

  11. When most successful, design creates an experience that is both delightful and relevant to the human being. Darrel Rhea,Cheskin Research Design as Interaction IMKE 2006 Jaan Saar
