Design-Theory View:
Interaction is a way of framing the relationship between people
and objects designed for them. The same is true not only of objects
but also of spaces, messages, and systems. Interaction is a key
aspect of function, and function is a key aspect of design.Means to

This week AssignmentCreate a new personal blog for yourself
where you can post your weekly assignments, work, personal course
contents and links.
Observe interactive products/installations on the street/outdoor
environment. Choose one interesting medium for physical interaction
and make photos of it. Publish photos in your new web blog with
details of its functional description and its approach for physical
interaction.
Send your blog link with your name to [email protected] before
1pm next Tuesday.Next WeekIntroduction to Digital World
