	AskTog: First Principles of Interaction Design
		Of late, many web applications have reflected a lack of understanding of many of these principles of interaction design, to their great detriment.
		The following principles, taken together, offer the interaction designer tremendous latitude in the evolution of a product without seriously disrupting those areas of consistency most important to the user.
		Use the pinning actions of the sides, bottom, top, and corners of your display: A single-row toolbar with tool icons that "bleed" into the edges of the display will be many times faster than a double row of icons with a carefully-applied one-pixel non-clickable edge between the tools and the side of the display.

	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Interaction design (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Interaction design is a multidisciplinary field coming from HCI which examines the role of embedded behaviors and intelligence in physical and virtual spaces as well as the convergence of physical and digital products.
		While interaction design has a firm foundation in the theory, practice, and methodology of traditional user interface design, its focus is on defining the complex dialogues that occur between people and interactive devices of many types-from computers to mobile communication devices to appliances.
		As the capabilities of interactive devices evolve and their complexity increases, practitioners of the discipline of interaction design will play an increasingly important role in ensuring that technology serves people's needs.

	Interaction design - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Interaction design improves the usability and experience of the object or system, by first researching and understanding user's goals, expectations, behaviors, and needs and then deliberately designs to meet and exceed these needs and desires for designated user groups.
		Interactive voice response (Telephone User Interface) is an example of interaction design without graphical user interface as a media.
		Social interaction in the community, gathering and teamwork are also some examples of activities can be designed by social interaction design.

	OJR article: Thinking About Interaction Design for Online News Delivery
		The interactive designer has to find the strengths of the new medium and exploit them to their fullest, creating a high quality means of communication with a unique voice.
		Interaction designers should devote part of their practice to breaking the common constraints; designing for very large displays, moving away from the "mouse crouch," incorporating tangible interfaces, and experimenting with new delivery systems.
		Interactive media takes designers in new directions, where they need to understand software and data structures, utilize custom authoring systems, engage and design the entire system, and adopt a different responsibility and relationship to their expression and audience.

		Even though interaction design in itself is a young field, it draws heavily on the intellectual and artistic heritage of other design fields as well as the literatures of information technology and society.
		From an interaction design point-of-view, what is really interesting about the book is that it provides a conceptual bridge between the traditional design disciplines and the use-oriented perspectives that are at the heart of interaction design.
		Hence, the relevance for interaction design consists mainly in providing a broad introduction to a perspective of sustainability that is important also for interaction designers insofar as we share the responsibility for the man-made world.

	What is Interaction Design and What Does It Mean to Information Designers - by Craig Marion
		Interaction design, presumably, means envisioning and creating some kind of map of how this should be done in a specific application.
		If interaction design is about the creation of compelling experiences, feedback and control may be tools in a designer's toolbox, but they're not always components of whatever's being designed.
		Interaction design may not reduce to them, but it does entail their use.

	Interaction Ivrea: About: Interaction Design
		The discipline of interaction design borrows from the theory and the techniques of traditional design, which it merges with theoretical and practical approaches from other disciplines.
		Interaction design seeks to establish a dialogue between products, people and physical, cultural and historical contexts; to anticipate how the use of products will affect comprehension; and to determine a form that is appropriate to its behaviour and use.
		"Interaction design has to do with people and with the possibility of minimising those frustrating moments which occur when you have to deal with a system or a piece of equipment that is new or over-complicated."

	Umea Institute of Design, industrial design education
		Developments in information technology have challenged industrial design tradition by demanding a shift of emphasis from the idea of “product-as-object” towards the notion of “product-as-event” where the dynamic and interactive qualities of products and services need to be better understood in the context of human behaviour.
		Our interaction design education and research offer exciting opportunities for designers to extend their existing skills into new territory where the focus is on human needs rather than technological capability.
		Our vision for interaction design is not only about the design of the object but also about the object of design.

	Thumbnails > UX Thoughts > Interaction by Design
		There are various titles and professions associated with this undertaking -- information architecture, information design, interaction design, interface design-- but when we looked at the work that we were actually doing, we found a "community of practice" with similarities in outlook and approach that far outweighed our differences.
		But visual design is also about "form," that's to say, using the "functional" aspects of appearance to help communicate and to help aid usability.
		In this oldie-but-goodie Craig Marion explores the concept of "performance-centered design," which is similiar to the "usage-centered design" concept advocated by Alan Cooper.

	cityofsound: Interaction Design Archives
		Naoto Fukasawa's idea that "good design means not leaving traces of the designer" makes sense in terms of reinforcing humility in the designer, but leaving traces of the design itself may be very useful to users.
		The designer's stance is revised as the design is less directly "present" in the interaction between the user and the artifact.
		Interaction design is often working in such a "dense, diverse" interactive environment, and so a sense of adaptation should be front of mind.

	Interaction Design Patterns -- maintained by Tom Erickson
		This page contains information about resources related to pattern languages for interaction design (of which user interface design is a subset), and a few links to more general papers that may be of use to interaction designers.
		A structure for UI design patterns is proposed and is illustrated with an example.
		While most would not see this as an example of interaction design (though I do, albeit at a very high level), it is such a lovely example of both content and form, as well as illustrating one approach to trying to make a pattern language a participatory entity, that I can't resist including it here.

		Interaction Design deals with a broad scope of issues, topics and paradigms that has traditionally been the scope of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Interaction Design (ID).
		The authors write that their book is called "Interaction Design: Beyond Human-Computer Interaction" because it is concerned with the broader scope of issues, topics, and paradigms than has been traditionally written in other books.
		Interaction Design comprises 15 densely packed chapters that integrate all of the various cognitive, social, and other issues that are germane to interaction design.
