The designer’s job is to create participation, and because of this, Buchanan holds that it is critical to maintain human dignity. Once the user has decided they desire the interaction and have a decent understanding of the demands of that interaction, they will take a leap and enter the experience. Desirability entices the user to be inaugurated by something, while strong usability gives them an opportunity to make measurements. By thinking this way, designers can facilitate the user’s journey through interaction’s three phases: inauguration, measurement, and leaps-taking. He suggested we find a balance in between a firefighter’s suit and a ball gown, where one has extreme usability, and the other has extreme desirability. He posited that, while the interaction design community focuses heavily on how usable something is, we should be very attentive to how desirable something is because that is what makes people want to use it in the first place. usability, the nature of interactions, and the importance of human dignity. It didn’t help that Richard Buchanan gave a stellar keynote it was a hard act to follow.īuchanan spoke about desirability vs. Many of the middle presentations were not as engaging as the could have been. I felt the talks were rather bookended, however. We heard from Richard Buchanan, Kalani Kordus and Karl Adam, Kaleem Khan, Steven Johnson, and Austin Brown and Lindsay Moore in that order. I was glad to see the talks take this direction. While yesterday’s talks focused heavily on the form of interaction, today’s highlighted content and the designer’s approach to it. Today’s talks were much heavier and more critical of the IxD community and its behaviors.
