While interface, information, and interaction designs have made interfaces and experiences easier to use, navigate, and understand, they are still a far cry from what meeting our expectations of interfaces. Surely, looking at interfaces in Science Fiction throughout the past even just the credible ones we aren’t realizing the potentials nor the fruits of our imaginations.
Shedroff, author of Experience Design, argues that the missing ingredient isn’t technological but social and emotional and that we don’t yet understand much about how to integrate these aspects of interfaces into the design process. There are, however, a few places to start and some good understandings discovered that can help us find the path to better interfaces that fit into the lives of our users more seamlessly.
