Interaction design is the design of the interaction between people and devices, systems or services. This interaction usually involves the ‘new technologies’ of computing and communications. But interaction design remains a creative activity – like architectural, graphic or product design. And it concerns the social value and cultural meaning of what is designed, as well as its functional efficiency and aesthetic appeal. The Interaction Design programme at IUVA University of Venice aims to develop, for each of its students, a portfolio of knowledge, skills and design work suitable for a career in the new field of interaction design.
