What is Interaction Design?
Interaction Design (IxD) focuses on designing the interactive aspects of a product, including how users engage with interface elements such as buttons, links, and forms. The goal of interaction design is to create a seamless and intuitive user experience by considering how users interact with these elements and providing appropriate feedback.
Key Aspects of Interaction Design:
- Feedback: Providing immediate and clear responses to user actions, such as visual changes or sounds, to confirm interactions.
- Consistency: Ensuring that interactive elements behave predictably and uniformly across the interface.
- Affordances: Designing elements to suggest their functionality, such as buttons that appear clickable.
Effective interaction design enhances usability and satisfaction by creating interfaces that are easy to navigate and understand, improving the overall user experience.
