Session: Day 1: Interactions thread: Interaction blur

Interactions thread: Interaction blur

Chair: Nico Macdonald
Daljit Singh, Durell Bishop & Andy Altmann

Interaction design is a relatively young field, but already a very broad one. Its pioneers came from graphic and product design, architecure and programming backgrounds. Practioners design for different platforms including: the PC, mobile devices, the web and games; and a confusing vocabulary has emerged including: interface design, digital media design, service design and experience design.

What is the best way of understanding the discipline? Are interaction designers of different hues all essentially applying the same skills to different ends? If not what are the key distinctions?
