- What makes up interaction design and what are some of the industry’s challenges?
User control, responsiveness, real-time interactions, connectedness, personalization, and playfulness makes up interaction design. They are the basic factors that contribute to what makes people able to interact with a design. Some of the industry challenges are lazy users, patterns of technology usage, and data-driven design. Designers are frustrated with how users are smart and understand how to use designs but want to be spoon-fed how to use them at the same time. Features of phones and social media are always changing, for example, tapping the screen replacing scrolling. Lastly, keeping users engaged is vital when considering data-driven design.

Interaction design is always evolving. Technology is constantly getting smarter and becoming more convenient for people to use. Interaction design draws knowledge from consumers. Designs are revitalized based on the users’ needs and the overall accessibility to the product or service provided. Designers are consistently learning and adapting their designs based on how users react to them.
