Week 2 / First Lecture : What is interaction design? [WeeFong]

Interaction is a process of two or more than one subject interacting. There are two form of interaction occur in our life which are interaction between human and human or between a machine and a human.  Example of interaction between human and human is when human talk to each other(human communication interaction). In the hands, the example of interaction between human and a machine is occur when the machine such as a computer give a feedback to its user (human computer interaction).

.There is a good and bad interaction. the receiver received the correct messages or feedback correctly. Where else, the bad interaction is when one or both side of the receiver does not received and detect the right information.

• HCI-  refers to Human Communication Interaction / Human Computer Interaction
• Its all about human in the ends.
• the purpose to invent and reinvent.

DESIGN :

Design is everywhere. Design are used as a medium of communication to public and also delivers information. By designing the medium of communication, it attract people attention. Designing is an activity that translate an idea into a blueprint form.

In the same time, design are used to decorate the environment to be more attractive.

User creates design that have creativity in it and provide a bussiness to the user.

This is how the design related.

What is HCI ? it’s not the term  “Hydrochloric Acid” in Chemistry, it was “Human Computer Interaction”.  Human as we know it, it was a living creature live on the earth for many years and was famous by calling “Homo-sapiens”. Computer is a machine that help human do to their everyday life, easily. Interaction is an action that occurs as two or more objects have an effect upon one another, vice versa.

So Human Computer Interaction is an interaction between human and machine. For example, human key in the input into the computer and computer will show out the output. There a lot of interaction involve in this situation, by keyboard, mouse, monitor, speaker and other thing. Human interact with a purpose to invent and reinvent. Overall it’s all about how human interact with machine.
