Interactive Design


Interactive design is the set of rules and responses which are applied to a system which human users interact with, that is, how a user uses a particular item and the way it responds. Interactive design focuses on simplicity and ease of use to produce a system which is satisfying and productive . It deals with the form and ergonomics of an object, as well as the design of it's interface or controls. Interactive Design is applied to almost everything electronic, and includes websites, mobile phones, ipods, electronic kiosks at shopping centres, computers, computer games, atms and many many more things.
