Interaction and design
Few of our students traveled to Sunnyvale to demonstrate some of their ideas of interaction design. Many students and Professors from six institutes from different parts of the world participated and all made "Gadgets" which are cool! A browser in a cube which can be rotated to access information and the similar ones. Interaction design has been interaction with objects and computers and how to make it efficient, more reliable, more trustworthy, more easy, more intuitive (though it is hard to define what it exactly means), more engaging, more connective, more continuous and more friendly. There lies a million jobs for designers. I have also spent a lot of time trying to make the human computer interaction easier and meaningful to humans. From Small screens, to big screens, to buttons, joysticks, ports, remote controls, keypads, touchscreen, sensor based gestures.....designers are figuring out well how to make it more elegant, more meaningful or easy. I am turning away for now
