Interaction design consist of five
dimensions that define the interactive
0:01
experience.
0:06
They are words, visual representations,
0:06
physical object or space,
time, and behavior.
0:13
They're abbreviated as 1D, 2D,
3D, 4D, and 5D respectively.
0:21
The first four dimensions were
defined by Julian Crampton Smith, and
0:28
the last dimension, behavior,
was added by Kevin Silver.
0:33
The words dimension includes all text,
including buttons.
0:37
Visual representation encompasses
graphics, images, typography, and icons.
0:43
The physical objects and space dimension
involves the device that's being
0:50
used to access the product or service.
0:54
This can be a touchpad on a laptop,
a mouse on a desktop computer, a stylus
0:57
on a tablet, fingertips on a mobile phone,
or a screen reader on a computer.
1:03
Time refers to media that changes over
time, such as animation, video, and sound.
1:10
Behavior is how users perform a task and
the response to the user's actions.
1:17
These dimensions give us a framework
to talk about interactions.
1:24
But what are interactions anyway?
1:27
In the next video we'll take a look at
the different types of interactions.
