A Collaborative Effort: Integrating Interaction Design Evaluation into Product Design Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
Due to the incredible increase in both product and system complexity that the use of advanced technology enables today, it is more important than ever for industrial designers to engage more directly with interaction design. The Interaction Design (IXD) program, recommended and supported by our industrial partner, the Whirlpool Corporation, was established as the latest addition to our Industrial Design major in 2010. It is a graduate program where students study cognitive and social systems to inform their knowledge, employ research methodologies to improve the design, and adopt innovative technologies to better accommodate human experience [9].
