Interaction design, often abbreviated as IxD, is "the practice of designing interactive digital products, environments, systems, and services." [1]: xxvii, 30 While interaction design has an interest in form (similar to other design fields), its main area of focus rests on behavior.
Hockett's Design Features are a set of features that characterize human language and set it apart from animal communication. They were defined by linguist Charles F. Hockett in the 1960s. He called these characteristics the design features of language.
Message design logic is a communication theory that makes the claim that individuals possess implicit theories of communication within themselves, called message design logics. [1] Referred to as a “theory of theories,” Message Design Logic offers three different fundamental premises in reasoning about communication . [ 2 ]
Bill Verplank giving a lecture at CIID in July 2010. William "Bill" Lawrence Verplank is a designer and researcher who focuses on interactions between humans and computers. . He is one of the pioneers of interaction design, a field of design that focuses on users and technology, and a term he helped coin in the 198
Using principles derived from embodied cognition, cognitive load theory, and embodied design TUIs have been shown to increase learning performance by offering multimodal feedback. [28] However, these benefits for learning require forms of interaction design that leave as much cognitive capacity as possible for learning.
From the user interface designer's perspective, an interaction technique is a well-defined solution to a specific user interface design problem. Interaction techniques as conceptual ideas can be refined, extended, modified and combined. For example, contextual menus are a solution to the problem of rapidly selecting commands.
The concept became popular as a result of Norman's 1986 book User-Centered System Design: New Perspectives on Human-Computer Interaction [6] and the concept gained further attention and acceptance in Norman's 1988 book The Design of Everyday Things, in which Norman describes the psychology behind what he deems 'good' and 'bad' design through ...
Design for All in the context of information and communications technology (ICT) is the conscious and systematic effort to proactively apply principles, methods and tools to promote universal design in computer-related technologies, including Internet-based technologies, thus avoiding the need for a posteriori adaptations, or specialised design.
