What is interaction design?
October 9 2014
or rather, What do interaction designers do?
At the end of the Experience Prototyping course at UID, the students raised that question. It is a rather fundamental one, and impossible to answer in one single way and it will be different for anyone that considers themself to be working in this field.
Very recently, one way of thinking about such questions was eloquently sketched by Joep Frens in his Nierenberg Lecture at the design department of Carnegy Melon University in Pitsburg on October 1st, 2014.
(Joep came to teach one week of Experience Prototyping at UID in 2011)
