Resumo: |
This research is turned to one of the most crucial questions of digital design that, as I see it, is concerned with the problem of interactivity. It is not casual that this has been the great and most repeated subject when communication design is in focus. Interaction design in digital media is a process in which a tool is planned in order to give support to some task, so that an efficient communication between user and machine can occur. Being the design of a tool, there should be a concern about the object being functional and adequate to usage. At the same time it has to be appealing in the sense of causing pleasurable visual, cognitive and emotional sensations. In design my emphasis goes to the process of production: which are the factors that have to be taken into account for the realization of an interaction design? This is the main problem of this research which directed the goals of this work toward the systematization of these factors. I believe that game design is the one which takes further the factors that are implicated in an interaction design. This presupposes the question of interfaces which, in this context, means the communicative negotiable space without which a game could not happen. An interface is the more effective the more is is able to produce an immediate decodification of the signs which are capable of inciting action, that is, the game mechanics. Hence, interaction is thought of as the form by which the user becomes not only a user but a player, someone who acts with the sensation that something is at stake and the results of the interactions may create an emotional approximation. My hypothesis is that an interaction design is not merely a representation or transposition from a physical to a simulated reality. Much more complex than this, the designer has to make a translation of the physical actions to be accomplished in the simulated environment. This operation is necessarily an intersemiotic operation (Plaza, 1987), since it involves a set of systems of signs in a hybrid language such as hypermedia. The theories which give support to this work are the ones that discuss the general question of interactivity, such as Steven Johnson (2001), Jenny Preece (2005), Allan Cooper et al. (2007), Goodwin (2009). Specific theories in the field of games are Tracy Fullerton (2004), Jesper Juul (2004) e Jesse Schell (2008). These found my hypothesis that the process of interaction in digital design is a special type of communication act which is manifested as a result of the desiger translation of actions that are realized in a physical environment. This communication process is special because it presupposes that the design is able to incite action. Hence a communication process that is resolved in the immediate action of the player. The methodology is based on the theoretical concepts, which were tested in my experience with games and my teaching activity turned to game design along the years. All this converged to the thesis that is defended in this work which conceives of interaction design as an operation of translation |
