Activity
Lean Forward vs Lean Back
Questions About Activity
● Do users have simple tasks to fulfil, or a more complex network of activities?
● Are these activities or tasks digital, or do they support real-world activities?
● Does the current activity have a physical component? How can we support that?
● Are the interactions likely to be lean-forward, lean-back, or both?
Individual
Individual Limitations
● The human body (Ergonomics)
● Memory
● State of mind
● Behavioral preferences
● Motivations

Social
Questions To Consider A Social Context
● Will the app be used in more of a private or public context?
● Who else is involved in this activity other than the user?
● Is there benefit in asking the user to authorise my app with their social
networks?
● Does my app protect the user’s sensitive information with sufficient care?

Data-Implied Context
Data alone cannot assure us of intent
Microinteractions
What are they good for?
● Accomplishing a single task
● Managing an ongoing task
● Interacting with a piece of data
● Controlling an ongoing process
● Adjusting a setting
● Viewing or creating a small piece of content
● Turning a feature on/off
The difference between a product you love and one you tolerate are often the
microinteractions you have with it.Dan Saffer

Triggers Rules Feedback Loop
Manual Triggers vs System Triggers
Rules for a Light
1. Turn on when switch is flipped.
2. Stay at full brightness until switch is flipped back to off.
Rules for a Light w/ Motion Sensor
1. Check every 2 seconds for movement
2. Movement detected
3. Is there enough to turn the light on?
4. Turn the light on
5. Check every 10 seconds for movement
6. If there’s no movement after 1 minute, turn light off
