Interactive Design
Interactive Design according to Bill Verblank is a person interacting with the world and getting feedback from the world, an interaction designer has 3 questions to answer which are:
- How do you do? – pressing a handle/button
- How do you feel? – feeling cool/hot
- How do you know? – using a map/path

Interactivity – interaction
Interactivity can be compared to the idea of interaction, in relation towards a program that responds to user activity. It works together so the total effect is greater then the sum (2 or more). it is capable of acting on or influencing each other.

Reflection
I think the most important aspect of this pod is the idea from Verblank’s perception for interactive designers having to ask themselves 3 questions in terms of interactivity is how do you do, feel, or know? These 3 questions will help with in communicating your thoughts/idea when interacting either with the world, nature, a product, a person etc.
