The next reading to be is The Encyclopaedia of Human-Computer Interaction: interaction design by Jonas Löwgren (https://www.interaction-design.org/literature/book/the-encyclopedia-of-human-computer-interaction-2nd-ed/interaction-design-brief-intro).

Notes from Webpage;

  • needs, desires of the people, products, services
  • pleasure, satisfaction and enjoyment
  • "Interaction design is about shaping digital things for people’s use"
  • shaping - creating, building, designing
  • design is transformation - change
  • interaction design - digital things - implementing a new initiative (?)
  • Its about exploring possible futures - divergent work
  • user studies are used in interaction design processes, fieldwork
  • "Design entails framing the “problem” in parallel with creating possible “solutions” "
  • thinking, sketching - for tangible representations
  • sketching in software and hardware as well as low-fi modelling for interaction design
  • purpose and intention is important when design thinking and sketching
  • "Design addresses instrumental, technical, aesthetical and ethical aspects throughout"
  • usability, human factors, ethical, cultural and religous, need to be considered and designed for the user experience
  • digital things, digital materials (sketching practices) for interaction design
  • digital technology - communication - records, collaborative media, conceptual devlopments
  • service design, digital technology is intertwined with everyday life
  • shaping people's use, their experience
  • interaction design is shaping digital things for people’s use
  • The practice is multidisciplinary

Week 13.2 - A3 Finalising Code

Image
 Yikes! lets begin with that. It has been one hell of a ride with this code. For most of the duration of A3 I have been trying to code infrared leds and transmitters...NOT BEAM BREAKERS. It was only until last week Thursday during our tech workshops that I was finally introduced to them. Thank God for that, I was about to pull my hair-that you can't seen under my hijab-out. The Beam breakers are amazing, whoever designed them is honestly my hero. While it has taken me a couple hours to get the code, (and its still not perfect 100%) they have taken my code to not working to everything is working as it should with the expection of the display screen that is clearing at the moment. But the detection is just amazin and how accurate it is and how each stage correlates with each other. It's late and I'm happy.  The video below demonstrates the working interactions, with a couple things missing (such as buttons) for how my design will monitor the bag and inform the user through li...

Week 13.6 - Code is working!

 It has been such a rush trying to get this code together and I still haven't finished. Since the beam breakers just came this Monday, I have been running around like a headless chicken trying to get this right and I think I finally got it. The video below shows a demo of my code and bow the sensors work together, how they go off when the connection is broken etc. I'm so happy that this part is over.

It was such a relief to have this presentation over with. I enjoyed walking around and seeing what everyone else did, their designs and their videos. The belwo videos is a quick video of my groups presentation and our products.
