Overview
Interaction types cover the broad range of ways that a person would interact with a product, whether that be a program built into a computer or a physical object. Of which there are four ways to do so as described in the text; instructing, conversing, manipulating, and exploring. Each of them covering different ways we can learn. Manipulating for example, would be how we would physically interact with the object in the real world. Conversing on the other hand, would be simply be inputting and responding through speech or text-based communication.
Reflection
Manipulation was the interaction type that I found most interesting. Given that’s how most people interact with objects on a day to day basis by physically getting our hands on them instead of being told about them or talking to them. With some exceptions of course.
