What is Interactive Design

Definition

Interactive Design can be defined as a method of creating interfaces and features in systems and products to allow interaction between the system and the user. It fundamentally concentrates on mobile phone devices, gaming consoles, computer software and other electronics.
A successful Interactive Design system is evident by its convenient navigation, faster learning curve, reduces boredom and frustration and increases user satisfaction.

The steps designers should adhere to when creating an interactive system are

1. Design Research
2. Research Analysis and Concept Generation
3. Alternative Design and Evaluation
4. Prototyping and Usability Testing
5. Implementation
6. System Testing


Examples of Interactive Design

Information Kiosks provide interactivity to the target user. They are able to interact with the system with its easy navigation and clear instructions.












Mobile Phones have interface screens where the user can navigate and click icons.
