Q
designing interactive products to support
the way people communicate and interact
in their everyday and working lives
A
Interaction design (ID)
23
Q
Many products that require users to interact with them, such
as smartphones and social networking sites, have been designed __________________
A
with the user in mind
24
Q
Others, such as switching from viewing a rented movie on
your Smart TV to watching a sports channel, have not
necessarily been designed with the users in mind – but have
been engineered primarily as ___________
A
systems to perform set functions.
25
One main goal of interaction design
Reduce the negative aspects of user experience, while enhancing the positive ones
26
it is about developing interactive products -- that are easy, effective,
and pleasurable to use -- from the users' perspective.
Interaction Design
27
Interaction design is increasingly
being accepted as the
umbrella term
28
A number of terms have been used to emphasize
different aspects of what is being designed,
including:
user interface (UI) design
software design
user-centered design
product design
web design
user experience (UX) design
interactive system design
29
To know what to design you need to take into account
who the users are
how the product is used
what activities are being carried out (by the users)
where the interaction is taking place
30
What to design?
make choices based on an
understanding of the users.
31
concerned with the
theory, research, and practice
of designing user experiences for
all manner of technologies,
systems, and products
Interaction design (ID)
32
concerned with the design,
evaluation, and implementation of
interactive computing systems for human
use and with the study of major
phenomena surrounding them
Human computer interaction (HCI)
33
ID is mostly carried out by
multidisciplinary teams
34
designers need to
understand
how people act and
react to events and how they
communicate and interact with each
other
35
Benefits of bringing together
people with different backgrounds
and training
potential of many more ideas
being generated,
new methods developed, and
more creative and original
designs being produces
36
Interaction design is a
process
37
Focused on discovering requirements,
designing to fulfill requirements,
producing prototypes and evaluating
them
Interaction design
38
There are many fields of design:
graphic,
architectural, industrial, and software
39
The Design Council of
the UK captures these in
the
double-diamond of
design
40
What are the 4 stages in the double-diamond of
design
discover
Define
Develop
Deliver
41
Designers
try to gather insights
about the problem
Discover.
42
Designers
develop a clear brief
that frames the design
challenge
Define.
43
Solutions or
concepts are created,
prototyped, tested,
and iterated
Develop.
44
The resulting
project is finalized,
produced, and
launched
Deliver.

48
What is the current user
experiience?
Why is change needed?
How will this change and/or
improve the situation?
Understanding the problem space
49
Make the users active
stakeholders
More likely to forgive or
accept problems
Can make a big difference
and success of product
Involve users to take
ownership:
Importance of involving users
50

design team can be:
Full-time:
Part-time:
Short term:
Long term:
51
constant input,
but lose touch with users
Full time
52
Patchy input and very stressful
part time
53
inconsistent across project life
short term
54
consistent but lose touch with users
long term
55
What are the basic activities of interaction design
Discovering Requirements
Designing Alternatives
Prototyping
Evaluating
56
Focused on delivering
something new about the
world and defining what
will be developed
Discovering Requirements
57
Part of the Develop phase
of the double diamond --
considered as the core
activity of designing
Designing
Alternatives
58
Involved producing the
conceptual model for the
product which describes an
abstraction outlining what
people can do with the
product and what concepts
are needed to understand how
to interact with it
Conceptual Design
59
Considers the detail of the
product: colors, sounds, and
images to use, menu and icon
design
Considers the detail of the
product: colors, sounds, and
images to use, menu and icon
design
60
Best way for users to
evaluate designs is to
interact with them, and
this can be achieved
through a prototype
Prototyping
61
It is the process of determining
the usability and acceptability of
the product/design measured in
terms of a variety of usability
and user-experience criteria
Evaluating
62
-Many projects start by discovering
requirements from which alternative
designs are generated
-Prototype versions of the designs are
developed and evaluated
-During prototyping or based on feedback
from evaluations, the team may follow
this iterative cycle in parallel
-Implicit in this cycle is that the final product will emerge in an evolutionary fashion from an
initial idea through to the finished product or from limited functionality to sophisticated
functionality
Simple lifecycle model

65
every product
that is used by someone
has a user experience
Who said this?
Garrett (2010)
66
how a product behaves and is used by
people in the real world
User experience
67
how people feel about a
product and their pleasure and satisfaction when using
it, looking at it, holding it, and opening and closing it
UX
68
Hornbæk and Hertzum,
(2017) define UX as.
How users perceive a product
Users' emotional reaction to a product
69
Hassenzahl's (2010)
model of the UX
Pragmatic
Hedonic
70
How simple, practical, and obvious it is for the
user to achieve their goals using the product
Pragmatic
71
How evocative and stimulating the
interaction is to users
Hedonic
72
T or F
One cannot design a user experience;
only design for a user experience.
T
73
four core
threads that make up
our holistic experiences
The sensual thread
The emotional thread
The compositional thread
The spatio-temporal
thread
74
Concerned
with our engagement with a
situation and is similar to
the visceral level of
Norman's model
Sensual thread:
75
Can be equated with the level of
absorption people have with
various technological devices and
applications
Sensual thread
76
Points
out how emotions are
intertwined with the
situation in which they arise
Emotional thread
77
____________ also involve making judgments of
value
Emotions
78
Concerned with the narrative
part of an experience, as it
unfolds, and the way a
person makes sense of it
Compositional thread:
79
internal
thinking we do during our experiences
Compositional thread
80
Refers to the space and time
in which our experiences
take place and their effect
upon those experiences
Spatio-temporal thread:
81
How does hte user feel when using the app
user experience
82
have
been viewed as being concerned
with meeting specific usability
criteria
usability goals
83
have been concerned with
explicating the nature of the
user experience
user experience
goals
84
Usability goals are
typically
operationalized as
questions.
85
The purpose is to provide
the interaction designer
with a concrete means of
assessing various aspects of
an interactive product and
the UX
Usability goals
86
refers to ensuring that interactive products are
easy to learn, effective to use, and enjoyable from the
user's perspective
Usability
87
usability is broken down into the
following goals
Effectiveness
Efficiency
Safety
Utility
Learnability
memorability
88
effective to use
very general
goal and refers to how good a
product is at doing what it is
supposed to do
(effectiveness)
89
efficient to use
refers to the way
a product supports users in
carrying out their tasks
(efficiency)
90
safe to use
involves protecting
the user from dangerous
conditions and undesirable
situations
(safety)
91
having good utility
refers to the extent to
which the product provides the
right kind of functionality so that
users can do what they need or
want to do.
(utility)
92
easy to learn
refers to
how easy a system is to
learn to use
(learnability)
93
easy to remember how to use
refers to
how easy a product is to
remember how to use,
once learned
memorability)
94
refers to the external conditions
where people work
Dangerous conditions
95
refers to helping users in any
kind of situation avoid dangers
of carrying out unwanted
actions accidentally
undesirable situations
96
are
used by interaction
designers to aid their
thinking when designing
for the UX
Design principles
97
What are the design principles
Visibility
Feedback
Constraints
Consistency
Affordance
98
The more visible functions are, the more
users will be able to know what to do
next.
Visibility
99
involves sending back
information about what action has been
done and what has been accomplished,
allowing the user to continue with the
activity/action.
Feedback
100
refers to
determining ways of restricting the kinds
of user interaction that can take place at a
given moment
Constraints
101
his refers to designing interfaces to have
similar operations and use similar elements
for achieving similar tasks
Consistency
102
is one that follows rules --
using the same input action to highlight any graphical
object at the interface
consistent interface
103
allow exceptions to a rule --
certain graphical objects can be highlighted only by
using the right mouse button while all other
operations are highlighted only by using the left
button
Inconsistent interfaces
104
refers to designing
operations to behave the same within an
application
Internal consistency
105
refers to designing
operations, interfaces, and so on to be
the same across applications and
devices
External consistency
106
refer to an attribute of
an object that allows people to
know how to use it.
Affordance
107
2 kinds of affordance
Perceived and real
108
Physical objects are said to have
real affordances
109
grasping,
that are perceptually obvious
and do not have to be learned
Real affordance
110
UIs that are screen-based are virtual and
do not have real affordances -- they are
better conceptualized as ,
perceived
affordances
