What the terms means: Instructing, Conversing, Manipulation and Exploring Instructing: In interaction, instructing is where users provide direction to system. Conversing: In interaction, it is where the user will have a dialog with a system. Manipulating: It is where the user connects with the object in virtual or physical space by holding them. Exploring: It is where the user moves through the physical space.
Reflection on the topic: 1. There are four types of interaction which are listed above. Instructing tells the user what to do, it gives the instructions to the system such as it tells to print the file etc. Conversing is what it sounds like, it acts as talking to us or having conversation with us such as search engines. Manipulating involves “objects and capitalizes on users’ knowledge of how they do so in the physical world”; example could be that “digital objects can be manipulated by moving, selecting, opening, and closing” (Preece, Rogers & Sharp, 2015, p. 52). Exploring deals with physical environment or virtual, the purpose of exploring is to enable people to have new ideas and explore with environment. 2. “Interaction types (e.g., conversing, instructing) provide a way of thinking about how best to support the activities users will be doing when using a product or service”(Interaction). 3. Couldn’t find an image,graphic, or video element based on the 4 types of interactions I mentioned above except for the pictures that has the definitions of them which is not needed. Example of instructing could be gesturing, conversing could be interface. Manipulating example could be opening or holding and exploring example could be smart rooms.
My Thought “The four interactions have different commands and they all have different jobs to do for the users. They all are important for a process to the system”(Firdous Ghani,2019)
