Jonas Löwgren on Interaction Design
Jonas Löwgren (Professor of Interaction Design and considered 'Mr. Interaction Design' here in Scandinavia) has just finished writing an entry on 'Interaction Design' in our encyclopedia. It paints a portrait of Interaction Design as a discipline going in two directions: One interpretation is to view Interaction Design as an extension of HCI.

What is Interaction-Design.org?

Interaction-Design.org is all about making research accessible. We deal with human-centered aspects of technology: Interaction Design, User Experience (UX), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Information Architecture (IA), Human Factors, Usability, and related fields.

We make research accessible through our 4 sections:

  1. an Open Content, peer-reviewed Encyclopedia.
  2. a conference calendar, which is used on several other websites through our ICAL interface.
  3. a comprehensive bibliography with the most authoritative publications within the disciplines above.
  4. "misDesigns" - short examples of defective designs tied to research themes.

We believe in Open Content and use the Creative Commons Copyright Licences, which makes the content of this website in effect the property of our community, not of this specific website.

Software design is the act of determining the user's experience with a piece of software. It has nothing to do with how the code works inside, or how big or small the code is. The designer's task is to specify completely and unambiguously the user's whole experience.

-- David Liddle, From Bringing Design to Software, edited by Terry Winograd, 1996
