What is Interaction-Design.org?

Interaction-Design.org is all about making research accessible. We deal with human-centered aspects of technology: Interaction Design, User Experience (UX), Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Information Architecture (IA), Human Factors, Usability, and related fields.

We make research accessible through our 4 sections:

  1. An Open Content, peer-reviewed Encyclopedia.
  2. A conference calendar, which is used on several other websites through our ICAL interface.
  3. A comprehensive bibliography with the most authoritative publications within the disciplines above.
  4. Design Battle - our new secret project....coming up!

We believe in Open Content and use the Creative Commons Copyright Licences, which makes the content of this website in effect the property of our community, not of this specific website.

Whenever we capture the complexity of the real world in formal structures, whether language, social structures, or computer systems, we are creating discrete tokens for continuous and fluid phenomena. In so doing, we are bound to have difficulty. However, it is only in doing these things that we can come to understand, to have valid discourse, and to design.

-- Alan Dix, p. 427 in "Upside-down A's and Algorithms - Computational Formalisms and Theory"
