Interactive design

Interactive design is the relationship between the user and the systems they interact with. This interaction practice typically surrounds complex technology systems such as software, mobile devices, and other electronic devices. However, it can also apply to other types of products and services, and even organizations themselves. Interaction design defines the behaviour of an artifact or system in response to its users. The interaction doesn't only involve one-on-one like a telephone call for example but can be one-to-many like blogs, or even many-to-many like the stock market.
Interaction designers are typically informed through interactive cycles of user research. They design with an emphasis on user goals and experience, and evaluate designs in terms of usability and affective influence.
