Artificial intelligence (AI) is the talk of our society these days. Artificial intelligence has become common around us, but it has begun to replace people in many other areas, including relatively low-skilled driving and moving goods from warehouses. People are taking artificial intelligence naturally in their daily lives. The day is not long before the…
“Nosedive” versus Real-world
The “Nosedive” deals with an era in which social network scores determine everything in life. The only person who can decide who “I” is the SNS score given by the opponent. If they have caused trouble to others or done something wrong, anyone who has witnessed the sight can cut their reputation scores. I don’t…

Information architecture is the process of structuring components, which clearly describes them and creates ways for people to understand and satisfy them effectively. As an interaction designer, there are countless processes before making a prototype, for example, by developing strategies such as concept maps and site maps, task flow, etc. This process helps understand primary…

Graphical user interfaces
Looking back now, it’s just a built-in bundle software with simple features, but this program was a simple tool to utilize best Xerox Star and Macintosh, which had nothing in its early days. Within the Macintosh system had calculators, calendars, note pads, simple word processing, and simple picture plates. Functionally, it was a basic word…
Interaction Pattern Language
After reading Alexander’s pattern language, I wondered what the pattern was. Patterns are standard solutions to the problems that appear in the context as part of an effort to systematically reveal the ‘how’ or ‘process’ of architectural design – and the pattern of constant interaction with other elements in space follows the order of “situation”…

Manifesto!
What’s interesting about interaction design is that the design itself is very simple. It doesn’t contain too many stories. The ultimate goal of design is to define and solve problems and provide a better life for humans. Communication can soon be a design and it is interesting to think of it and create something new…
Instructional Interface Design
Nowadays the training environment is increasingly computer-based. Since teachers or facilitators are often physically unavailable to guide the learning process, it is essential to do so by communicating effectively. Although there are numerous guidelines regarding interface design, the design of guidance interfaces is difficult. First, there are abundant guidelines to sift through. Second, few if…
Important to understand the background history
As interaction design is important to understand the background history because what we are made now is not just made. The ancient history of invention has been brought together to develop the current technology. Humans like to record everything and we learn from the information of records. Thus the invention of printing continued, and the…
