1.3 Interaction design  An example : the emergency exit doors in an aircraft: controllable size & user, easy to open, safety : think about physical, mental, spiritual ergonomics!  Which bits are interaction design? 1) organized, presented 2) available 3) external source  Why bother with all this design? 1)Advantages in production 2)advantages in marketing 3)Advantages in use : less support, more efficiency, fewer errors, improved safety, (making website sticky)

1.4 The Past: where did new media design come from?  Ergonomics  Industrial design  Graphic design  Computer-human interaction  Multimedia and web technology

1.5 The Present: the current scope  Classical multimedia products :cd-roms, games, encyclopedias….  Web sites---SNS  Pure software interfaces  Advanced hardware interfaces  Current new media designers? 1)not yet, but UX designer. We Need N.D. 2)more of the ‘soft’ industrial design areas 3)computer scientists

1.6 The future: education  Condensing the cloud 1)definite relationships of contents 2)definite goals of production  Following market development  New media extension to existing courses : Think about the connection!
