User Experience
- Encompasses all aspects of the end-user's interaction with a company, its services, and its products.
- Quoted by Don Norman, Cognitive Scientist and User Experience Architect
- Applies to anything that can be experienced
- Considers all components that form an experience
- How the experience makes the user feel
- How easy it is for the user to accomplish their desired goals
- The ultimate purpose is to create easy, efficient, relevant, and pleasant experiences for the user
Interaction Design
- Design is how it works, not just what it looks like and feels like.
- Quoted by Steve Jobs
- The goal of creating products that enable users to accomplish their objectives in the best way possible
- The Interaction Design Foundation
- Involves examining and defining interactions between a system and a user.
- Creates meaningful relationships between people and products/services.
- Includes strategic focus on how users interact and how it can be managed, rather than just designing/formatting technology.
IxD vs UI
- Interaction design focuses on human-computer interaction, animations, microinteractions, transitions, and other motion-based designs.
- Decides what happens when a user interacts (e.g., taps an element)
- User interface design focuses on visual design and aesthetics, including color, fonts, icons, layouts.
- Decides what a user interface looks like.
IxD vs UX
- Interaction design is a specialized discipline within UX design
- UX looks at the entire user experience
- Interaction designers focus on user interactions and motion
- UX designers apply UX fundamentals like design thinking, human-centered design, and user research.
- Concerned with tasks, actions, and environment
- Interaction designers focus on how a digital product responds to user actions.
Interaction Design Process
- Find users' needs/wants. (Observe, interview people)
- Analyze findings and organize them. (Narrative/story, task analysis)
- Design a potential solution that aligns with design guidelines and fundamental design principles
- Prototyping: Give users an idea of the product and/or let experts evaluate it.
- Implement and deploy the product
Why Interaction Design Matters?
- Good interaction design ensures users easily and efficiently accomplish goals, whether using a website, mobile app, or physical product.
- Improves user satisfaction and loyalty, and increases conversions and sales.
- Study by DigitalRiver: 72% of online cart abandonments due to poor user experience.
- Helps companies save money via reduced customer support inquiries.
