INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS
Interactive Systems refers to computer and technology systems designed with
interactive components.
Interactive Systems are Systems that enable interaction between human and
machines. This interaction can take many forms including voice, text, touch and
gesture input. It also involves the connection of various devices and machines to the
internet, allowing for communication and interaction between them. This can include
devices such as smart thermostats, home security systems and wearable technology.
Interactive systems are designed to facilitate communication and interaction between
humans and machines. They aim to create interfaces that allow users to provide input
and receive output in a meaningful and intuitive manner.
Interactive systems play a central role in the field of human-computer interaction
(HCI), which focuses on the study, design, and evaluation of systems that enable
effective and meaningful interaction between humans and computers.
Human Computer interaction consists of 3 parts:
 The User
 The Computer itself
 The ways they work together.
A Good Interactive System is one where user can easily work out how to operate
the system in an attempt to achieve his Goals. User can easily evaluate the result of
his actions on the system.
Many Computer Games, for example are developed with numerous keyboard
shortcuts to enhance the interactive usability of the system. These sort of keyboard
shortcuts and context sensitive mouse controls provides easier and quicker access
to common system functions.
The Goal of Interactive Systems is to enable users to interact with technology in a
natural and efficient way, making it easier to accomplish tasks, access information,
and control devices or software. These systems can take various forms, including
desktop applications, mobile apps, websites, virtual reality environments, and more.
Characteristics of interactive systems:
1. Input Modalities: Interactive systems support different input modalities to
accommodate user preferences and capabilities. These can include keyboard
and mouse input, touchscreens, voice commands, gestures, or even eye-
tracking technology.
2. Responsiveness: Interactive systems should provide real-time or near-real-time
responses to user input. Users expect immediate feedback to their actions,
ensuring a smooth and seamless interaction experience.
3. Feedback and Output: Interactive systems provide output to users in the form
of visual, auditory, or haptic feedback. This output can range from displaying
information, presenting graphical interfaces, playing sounds, or providing
tactile responses.
4. User Interface Design: Designing intuitive and user-friendly interfaces is
crucial for interactive systems. User interface (UI) and user experience (UX)
principles are employed to create interfaces that are visually appealing, easy to
navigate, and efficient for completing tasks.
5. Context Awareness: Interactive systems can leverage context information to
personalize the user experience and adapt to different situations. This can
include factors such as user preferences, location, time, and device capabilities.

Examples of Interactive Systems


 Video Game Consoles: Video game consoles like PlayStation, Xbox, and
Nintendo Switch provide interactive gaming experiences. Users can control
virtual characters and objects through game controllers or motion sensors.
These systems offer multiplayer capabilities, online connectivity, and
immersive gameplay.

 Mobile Applications: Mobile apps are interactive systems designed for


smartphones and tablets. They enable users to perform various tasks, such as
communication (e.g., messaging apps), entertainment (e.g., games, streaming
services), productivity (e.g., task management, document editing), and much
more. Users can interact with mobile apps through touch gestures, voice
commands, and other input methods
 Voice Assistants: Voice assistants, such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant,
or Apple Siri, are interactive systems that respond to voice commands and
provide information or perform tasks. Users can interact with these systems by
speaking naturally and asking questions, controlling smart devices, setting
reminders, and accessing various services.
 E-commerce Websites: E-commerce websites allow users to browse and
purchase products or services online. These interactive systems provide search
functionality, product listings, shopping carts, and secure payment options.
Users can interact with the website by selecting products, adding them to the
cart, and completing the checkout process.
 Social Media Platforms: Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram,
and Twitter provide interactive features for users to share content,
communicate with others, and engage in discussions. Users can post, comment,
like, share, and interact with content in real-time
 Collaborative Software: Collaborative software systems enable multiple users
to work together on shared projects or documents in real-time. Examples
include cloud-based document editors like Google Docs, project management
tools, and virtual meeting platforms. Users can interact with these systems
simultaneously, making edits or contributions that are visible to others.
