“Interaction design is the design of things and systems, typically combining computing and telecommunications, to allow a relatively inexpert user to interact efficiently, transparently and pleasurably with the technology.” (Gilliam Crampton Smith – Interaction Design Institute Ivrea) – courtesy of antenna

“I’m currently persuing a Master’s degree in Interaction Design at Carnegie Mellon University. This blog is an attempt to document some of that experience.” – (Dan Saffer)

“Over the last two years, we’ve heard from increasing numbers of executives who want to bring interaction design in-house because they’ve realized how critical it is to product success. There are plenty of challenges involved in doing this, including hiring and training the right people. One of the challenges companies may not expect, though, is in deciding how to use those resources once they’ve been found.” – (Kim Goodwin – Cooper Newsletter)

“Job Searching takes time. Many of the things that need to happen to land a job are out of your control. This means that you might be doing everything right, and still not have any offers. Plan for this. Make sure you invest time in learning new skills, staying sharp with your old ones, and getting more experence regardless of whether you’re paid or not. The world needs better designs for just about everything, so the long term future for you is bright – hang in there.” (Scott Berkun – UIWeb.com)

“What is brand? More than just a corporate logo, ‘brand’ is that tangible – and intangible – something that makes your product jump off the shelf and keep consumers and customers coming back for more. This article is the first in a series that describes concrete aspects of branding, sheds light on how interaction design and brand are related, and provides a primer for talking about the religion that is brand.” (Nate Fortin – Cooper)

“Before computers there wasn’t ‘Interaction Design’. But most of the qualities we seek have been valued through the ages.” (Marc Rettig) – courtesy of fabio serge

“The London AIGA Experience Design forum recently hosted Jennifer Whitney of the Boston-based television producer WGBH to hear about their interaction design challenges.” (Michael Andrews – Usability News)

“Multimodality is new technology that hopes to enhance the mobile user experience by enabling network operators to combine speech, touch and onscreen displays for intuitive and powerful mobile applications.” (James Colby – Speech Technology Magazine) – courtesy of nooface

“(…) the first of a twelve-article, twelve-month series devoted to the field of interaction design.” (Bob Baxley – Boxes and Arrows)

“So you think you are an interaction designer? Not if you cannot answer all the following questions quickly and with authority.” (Bruce Tognazzini – AskTog)

“(…) design-intensive approaches have at least paid lip service to the idea that users — to the extent it was feasible to inject them into the design process — could improve the outcome.” (Jon Udell – O’Reilly Network)

“Moggridge noted that the aesthetics recede as behaviour becomes more important – that behaviour is the aspect people actually engage with.” (Dan Hill – cityofsound/blog)

“The world of computer-based interaction is changing again.” (NPUC 2002 – IBM Research)

“Maybe the best user interface is none at all (…)” (Dan Gillmor – Sillicon Valley News)

“Our goal is to develop new devices, techniques, and theories that support the design of fluent interaction in a ubiquitous computing environment.” (Stanford Computer Science Department)
