Interaction design consist of five
dimensions that define the interactive
0:01
experience.

They are words, visual representations,
0:06
physical object or space,
time, and behavior.

They're abbreviated as 1D, 2D,
3D, 4D, and 5D respectively.

the last dimension, behavior,
was added by Kevin Silver.

The words dimension includes all text,
including buttons.

Visual representation encompasses
graphics, images, typography, and icons.

The physical objects and space dimension
involves the device that's being
0:50
used to access the product or service.

This can be a touchpad on a laptop,
a mouse on a desktop computer, a stylus

on a tablet, fingertips on a mobile phone,
or a screen reader on a computer.

Time refers to media that changes over
time, such as animation, video, and sound.

Behavior is how users perform a task and
the response to the user's actions.
