What the term means: Interaction Design Interaction Design is the term used for creating user experience that increases the way people work or communicate with others. It means “designing interactive products to support the way people communicate and interact in their everyday and working lives” ( Preece, Rogers & Sharp, 2015, p. 8). It answers “why or show of our daily interactions using computers” in the term of Thackara view.
Reflection on the Topic: 1. Many terms have been used to point out different aspects of what is being designed which includes user interface, software design, and experience design. “Interaction design is increasingly being accepted as the umbrella, covering all of these aspects” (Preece, Rogers & Sharp, 2015, p. 8). 2. “The 5 dimensions of interaction design is a useful model to understand what interaction design involves. Gillian Crampton Smith, an interaction design academic, first introduced the concept of four dimensions of an interaction design language, to which Kevin Silver, senior interaction designer at IDEXX Laboratories, added the fifth” (Siang, T).
3. An example of interaction design is 2D which is Visual representations such as images, icons, or typography.

My thought “Interaction Design has a lot to do with practice such as how to design user experience. You might want to know what user experience is? Well, user experience which is also known is UX is ‘”central to interaction”‘(Preece, Rogers & Sharp, 2015, p.12). Interaction Design involes people, ranging in various professions”(Firdous Ghani, 2019).
