Study Notes
Interaction Design
- Interaction design focuses on designing products that support communication and interaction in everyday life.
- The goal is to develop usable products that are easy to learn, effective to use, and enjoyable.
- It encompasses various disciplines, including user interface design, software design, user-centered design, product design, web design, and experience design (UX).
- It involves contributions from different fields like psychology, social sciences, computing sciences, engineering, ergonomics, informatics, graphic design, product design, artist-design, industrial design, and film industry.
- It's important to consider the users' needs and involvement in the design process.
User Experience
- It describes how people feel about a product - pleasure, satisfaction, and overall experience.
- Every product used by someone has a user experience.
- Interaction design aims to create great user experiences.
- Understanding users' preferences and designing products to meet their needs is crucial - a one-size-fits-all approach won't work.
Accessibility and Inclusiveness
- Accessibility refers to making interactive products accessible to as many people as possible, especially those with disabilities.
- Inclusiveness aims to create products and services that accommodate the widest possible range of people, regardless of their abilities, education, age, or income.
- Companies like Google and Apple provide tools for developers to promote accessibility.
- Assistive technology helps people with permanent disabilities to participate in everyday life.
Usability Goals
- Effectiveness: The product should enable users to accomplish their tasks efficiently.
- Efficiency: Users should be able to sustain high productivity after learning how to use the product.
- Safety: The design should minimize the possibility of errors and provide easy recovery options.
- Utility: The product should be useful and serve the intended purpose.
- Learnability: The product should be easy to learn and use.
- Memorability: Users should easily remember how to use the product after some time.
User Experience Goals
- Desirable Aspects: Satisfying, helpful, fun, enjoyable, motivating, provocative, engaging, challenging, surprising, pleasurable, enhancing sociability, rewarding, exciting, supporting creativity, emotionally fulfilling, entertaining, cognitively stimulating, experiencing flow.
- Undesirable Aspects: Boring, unpleasant, frustrating, patronizing, making one feel guilty, making one feel stupid, annoying, cutesy, childish, gimmicky.
Design Principles
- Design principles are guidelines that help think about different design aspects; they are essentially the "do's and don'ts" of interaction design.
- They help determine what aspects of interaction to provide and what not to provide at the interface.
- They are derived from theory-based knowledge, experience, and common sense.
Feedback
- Feedback is a key aspect of good design, providing users with information about their actions.
- It can be visual (highlighting or animations), auditory (sounds), or a combination of both.
- It helps users understand the results of their interactions, especially in the context of error correction and confirmation.
Consistency
- Consistency in design ensures that similar actions are performed using similar elements.
- This helps users learn the system more easily and reduces confusion.
- Examples of consistent designs: similar button styles for similar actions across different parts of the product.
