Interactive Design - A Definition

Interaction Design is the means of allowing humans to interact and relate to a program. Focusing on the users experience and usability, interactive design aims to develop, implement, evaluate and maintain situations that facilitate the users experience. The discipline of designing interactivity is largely aimed at the design of technological systems such as software, mobile devices and electronic devices. However, it has also extended in the fields of web design, architecture and industrial design. Using a range of sound, motion and images, interactive design shapes our every day life with the use of digital artifacts to meet the needs of the user.

As Nathan Shedroff states:

"Experience is the place in which knowledge can grow and interaction is the means by which valuable experiences can be created."
