Week 1 lecture pod explores one of the key Design Areas of interaction design called ‘Interactivity’. The Lecture pod begins with providing us with a better understanding of what interactive design is and analyses important factors that interactive designers need to apply.
Here we are given an overview of where interaction design is placed in the spectrum of communication designs providing an insight of what interaction design involves and or intwines with other digital mediums. The lecture pod refers to a video from ‘Bill Verplank’ where he educates the audience on the three most important questions a interactive designer needs to ask themselves.
1. How do you do?
How are you, as a designer going to be effecting the world
2. How do you feel?
How are you, as a designer going to receive feedback from the world
3. How do you know?
How are you, as a designer going to determine whether there are further applications that need to be made or adjusted for you’re targeted audience.
During the Lecture pod we are able to see through Sharp, Rogers and Preece,(2002).Interaction design that interaction designers require to develop this mentality of having to understand the user and fully acknowledge how the human psyche functions as these are key factors of creating anything successfully interactive for the public.
