Interactive design

What is interactive design ?

The concept of interactive design is suggested by Bill Moggridge, during late 20th century.
Interaction Design defines the structure and behaviour of interactive products, services and systems that a user can interact with, beside interaction design shaping our everyday life through a range of technologies, such as Computer, mobile devices, electronic devices and software.

Interaction design association-lxDA stated this:
“Interaction design is a professional discipline that illuminates the relation between people and the interactive products they use. While interaction design has a firm foundation in the theory, practice, and methodology of tradition design, its focus is on defining the complex dialogues that occur between people and interactive devices of many types- from computers to mobile communications devices to appliances.” (http://www.ixda.org/index.php)

Gillian Crampton Smith mentions this:
“If I were to sum up interaction design in a sentence, I would say that it’s about shaping our everyday life through digital artefacts- for work, for play and for entertainment.”(http://www.designinginteractions.com/interviews/GillianCramptonSmith)
