What is interaction design?
Interaction design is the structure and behavior of interactive systems. Designers working with interaction design try to create relationships between people, products and the services they use. Not only speaking from computers, mobile devices, applications and beyond, but interaction also happens from user to user and from machine to machine. The core of interactive design is to embed information into the social complexities of the physical world. Interaction doesn’t always apply to electronic devices, it also occurs between organizations, and as mentioned earlier, it can also happen between machines. Interaction design applies to everything. People have been interacting with each other for as long as the human race exists. Interaction design is everywhere. This means that interaction design is an art of integrating interactions between humans through products (devices), and not only from human to human but from human to machine or from machine to machine. Since all the mediums we use are always progressing, the interaction design has to follow these progression. We are now living in the digital era, the internet is everywhere and is integrated in every aspect of our lives. Interactive design has to have a positive effect on us, so when designing things we ought to pay attention to everything. The user should feel comfortable when using a device, if not, the user will have negative emotions about this product and those emotions will be the reason why that specific device won’t be used twice. The designer should ask himself “Will this design affect people’s lives in a positive way?”. At the end, the goal of interactive design is to make us more connected to each other.
