W.I.P. panel for an interaction aesthetics analyzer
As a side project I'm creating a tool for analyzing the interaction aesthetics of a design artifact. The tool is to be used for creating a better and explicit understanding of the interaction gestalt that the designer wishes to create for his / her design. Lim et al. argues in their paper "Interaction Gestalt and the Design of Aesthetic Interactions" that a better understanding of the interaction gestalt will lead to more informed decisions when designing interactive artifacts. I hope to create a tool for designers to get a better sense of how the interaction attributes affect their interactive designs. For further reading on aesthetics of interaction I recommend these papers:
- 'Interaction gestalt and the design of aesthetic interactions' by Lim, Stolterman, Jung & Donaldson
- 'Aesthetics of interaction: a literature synthesis' by Lenz, Diefenbach & Hasselzahl
