Week 2 | INTERACTION DESIGN

Interaction. What is interaction? From what I know interaction is the action that occurs when two or more people or object respond to each other. It can be when human respond to an object like a computer. For example when people having a conversation with each other through a computer. So basically the concept of interaction design is to design interactive digital products, environments, systems and services with a specific focus on their use. Its also focused on satisfying the requirements of people who will use the product. 

According to wikipedia, Human-Computer Interaction or HCI is the study, planning, and design of the interaction between people(users) and computers. It is often regarded as the intersection of computer science, behavioral sciences, design, and several other fields of study. Plus, a basic goal of HCI is to improve the interactions between users and computers by making computers more usable and receptive to the user's needs.

Moreover, design is the most important thing in HCI because when the users feel the interface is not attractive and hard to understand, they will not waste their time to explore more about it. But, if the design is attractive and effective, the users will take their time to explore more. Easy, simple yet useful and understandable design are the criteria that users looking for. It is because the simple design yet attractives helps people navigate through the features easily without any complain about it.

In conclusion, HCI is about human and computers(machines). HCI plays an important role for making a better life to human.
