A strongly interactive system, as described in The Art of Interactive Design, goes beyond just reacting to user input; it creates an ongoing back-and-forth between the user and the system. Crawford talks about the system as “listening, thinking, and speaking,” meaning it responds in meaningful ways to what the user does. In my p5.js sketches, I want to improve user interaction by giving more immediate feedback and making the system react in a way that feels more real or personalized if that makes sense. For example, much like how in Minecraft your actions (building or destroying) immediately affects the world around you, like destroying the wrong block could lead to a flood, same with my designs, I want to make my sketches change and evolve with user input. Furthermore, instead of having a single click trigger a known/set action, I want the system to adapt and change based on the actions similar to how Spotify creates personalized playlists based on previous songs you’ve listened to. So basically, the previous user inputs influence the sketch’s future outcomes. I can also add depth by layering interactions, like having multiple variables such as colors, shapes, or movement change in response to user input, which I am implementing right now to my sketches and giving it a go, as I do believe it gives a more appealing look to the system. I also just found out, that you can add sound effects on P5, which I hope we get to learn that, during the semester, as I’m sure everyone can agree sound enhances any type of design. Hence, by incorporating these elements into my sketches and designs, I aim to create more interactive and engaging sketches that feel alive and responsive, aligning with Crawford’s vision of true interactivity.
