Conceptualizing Interaction

Conceptualizing Interaction
Conceptualizing interaction is “what is currently the user experience/product and how this is going to be improved or changed” (Preece, Yvonne, & Sharp, 2015). In the field of interaction design, this is actually very important because it is the bridge for designers come up with closest design support users’ need. It is basically interaction with users to know about the product to find solutions for weakness.

Reflection on the Topic

This section is a personal reflection on the knowledge you gained about the core topic or term being studied in module. The reflection should include:
1.      Conceptualizing interaction in a simple way is discussion the concept about creating and utilizing products with users, collect their feedback and ideas to form a model that is more suitable for using. Users give their ideas for a product suit their needs. Designers take feedback to make product become completed and flawless.
2.      A research about interaction learning shows how people use conceptualizing interaction into computer-support learning. They developed a “framework” that “unify data derived from various media and interactional situations and has been used to support multiple analytic practices”. From that, using concept to “unifies data from diverse sources and supports analytic practices from multiple traditions” (Suthers, Dwyer, Medina, & Vatrapu, 2010).

3.      (“Will a line of code be your downfall?” n.d.)
This show conceptualization interaction process starts from original concept turn into more improved one by interaction with users.

My Thought

“It is important to realize that having a clear understanding of why and how you are going to design something can save enormous amounts of time, effort, and money later on in the design process” (Preece et al., 2015).
“Depended on each customer, designer need to understand the need before start inventing new techniques or devices, understand how they will use design to communicate with users and provide users’ needs” (Hoang, 2018).

“Controlled settings involving users” Evaluation Method

“Controlled settings involving users” Evaluation Method “Controlled settings involving users (examples are laboratories and living labs): users’ activities are controlled in order to test hypotheses and measure or observe certain behaviors. The main methods are usability testing and experiments.” (Preece, Yvonne, & Sharp, 2015) Reflection on the Topic 1.       This type of testing is mainly for research about a topic, which usually have expectations going with it. Users are not free to do whatever they want, but instead being controlled to perform specific tasks. This is usually used for technology testing (Preece et al., 2015) . Data collected will be used to interpret and make update about products. 2.       “working group attempted to answer some baseline questions: What can and cannot be customized in the new interface? How, and according to what timeline, should we introduce the new interface to our library patrons...

Natural Interface

Natural Interface Natural User Interface “is one that enables people to interact with a computer in the same ways they interact with the physical world, through using their voice, hands, and bodies. Instead of using a keyboard and a mouse (as is the case with GUIs), a natural user interface allows users to speak to machines, stroke their surfaces, gesture at them in the air, dance on mats that detect feet movements, smile at them to get a reaction, and so on” (Preece, Yvonne, & Sharp, 2015, p.188) Reflection on the Topic 1.       Natural interface is the way of people can control and interact with computers or virtual products using their normal gestures. The systems are built to sense the actions, like jumping, waving, etc. and make actions according to actions as programmed. 2.       “Natural User Interface (NUI), a more natural way for people to interact with technology. NUI refers to both sensory inputs such as to...

Prototypes

Prototypes Prototype is “one manifestation of a design that allows stakeholders to interact with it and to explore its suitability”, useful when discussing or evaluating ideas with stakeholders; they are a communication device among team members, and an effective way for designers to explore design ideas” (Preece, Yvonne, & Sharp, 2015) Reflection on the Topic 1.       Prototypes are design or tested version made before actual products, so the designers can have basic ideas that their thought and reality come together work or not and make changes, updates based on the tested version before making actual products. 2.       “Prototypes are important tools in the development and production of new products. In the engineering design literature, prototypes are mainly perceived as tools for validating and verifying aspects of a design in the late stages of the design process” (Elverum & Welo, 2016) (Dai, Zhu, & Che...
