- 1. Introduction to New Media and Interaction Design Valeria Gasik 2013
- 2. Topics • What is New Media? • Interaction Design Fundamentals • User-centered Design
- 3. In your opinion: What is New Media?
- 4. Several ways to describe it
- 5. New Media technologies are described as the ones with the nature of digital interactivity.
- 6. Digital data
- 7. Data • Nesting vs linearity • Oversupply? A lot to process! • Designer’s role? • Growing in demand: ability to deal with complex systems and extract wisdom from the data
- 9. E-waste
- 10. Digital divide
- 11. New ethics and laws

- 13. “There is a tremendous ability for individual users – – to make connections to one another in a way that might allow them to circumvent the conventions of institutional and closed opportunities.” Bailey Socha, Barbara Eber-Schmid http://www.newmedia.org/what-is-new-media.html
- 14. Art
- 15. Games
- 16. Social networks
- 17. Social events
- 18. Fun. “Jam with Chrome”
- 20. Mashups, memes
- 22. There are many ways to approach a project
- 23. User-centered design One of the possible approaches • Focus on the user • Users as a guide of design • Designer translates user needs and goals
- 24. Interaction Design “...shaping digital things for people’s use” http://interaction-design.org/
- 25. Interaction Design Process of designing digital products, services, systems and environments • User’s needs and goals? • User’s abilities and limitations? • The structure and behavior of interactive a system? • Future challenges?
- 26. Process 1. Personas 2. Scenarios 3. User-Stories 4. (Development, design, testing) 5. (Presentation)
- 27. Personas Persona is a brief description of a user archetype • A focused act of designer’s empathetic role-play. • 2-5 personas (primary, secondary, supplementary) • Are composed from observation, interviews, etc. • Serve as a guide to the design process but do not substitute involving real users in the design process
- 28. “Personas, as documents, should work for designers the way scent works for memories of your childhood.” (Alan Cooper)
- 29. “Genshi genbutsu” – Go and see
- 30. Scenarios Scenarios describe likely interactions between types of users (personas) and the system • Consists of settings, actors, goals, actions, events and objects • Aims to mirror the real context and usage
- 31. Scenarios Laura has a 4-year old dog. In a week Laura is planning to go on a vacation and is looking for a dog sitter. Laura opens a dog sitter site and looks for a map. She wants to find someone trustful who lives nearby. Laura studies relevant results and sees Ulla’s profile. Laura likes Ulla’s resume and decides to contact her.
- 32. User Stories Written sequences of actions and events that lead to an outcome • Good stories are standalone, short and testable • Bridge between users, designers and developers
- 33. User Stories “As a user, I want to find reliable dog sitter near by so that I could contact her.”
- 34. User Stories “As a <role>, I want to <do what > so that I could <benefit how>.”
