AFFORDANCES FOR INTERACTION: THE SOCIAL IS MATERIAL FOR DESIGN

摘要: In this article, I explore an ecological approach to social interaction, using the concept of affordances describe material properties environment that affect how people interact. My examples come mainly from design technologies support collaboration. The physical paper and electronic media—for instance mail or video communication system—affects they can be used use them Many these effects are due differences in degree which media afford prediction exploration.

Thus both guided by, guide, interaction. Nonetheless, only one example wide range issues behaviour address. Such may provide as fundamental a challenge existing perspectives it has traditional theories perception.
