#digital interaction design

Page two focuses on its use and interaction. At the time, the device was designed to appear like a newspaper that could be tuned to your local area for local news. The device then plays news about a new cat cafe looking for donations which the user now interacts with (which they actually passed on the first page). This helps encapsulate not only what the device does but how it affects the user/wider community in a simplistic manner (one of my favourites in actuality). 

This point is particularly useful as it provides context on the use of social media in a real-life social situations and how we as designers could work this into our designs: - How do other people interact whilst using their phones? Almost as if they did not have their phone out. - Is it socially acceptable? Yes, quite. - Is it primarily an aspect of the younger generations? Surprisingly, no. As much as the younger generation are despised for the utilisation of technology, the market includes as many older users as it does young.

Wanting to create a fully fledged product, I used Autodesk CAD to fully render and design the packaging, sticker and informational booklet that would be packed with the final concept. Through this I learned how much effort and time goes into creating a truly cohesive unboxing experience and how this small interaction means a lot on its own. How the box slowly opens, how it feels and how it fits all contributes to the overall aesthetic and value of the product.

not even sure digital interaction design is worth 40p. Or if I'll pass for that matter

I am doing my dissertation this year on interactive installations in retail spaces, why companies choose to implement them and if they are a success/failure. If you have any experience in using any installations in retail spaces (this could be anything from self-checkouts to iPad's placed around the store,) could you please take 10 minutes out your day to answer my survey.  Its only 10 questions and feedback will help a lot towards my dissertation :) http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9MKXDBL
