Reflection

Through this exercise, I learned the definition of interactive experience and what we're doing over the course. Before this exercise, the word "interactive experience" sounds very blurry and ambiguous to me. The five dimensions gave me a rough understanding of this word, but these words were still flat abstractions with no content in my head. When I was searching the word dimensions over and over again, I explored more and more about how the five dimensions constitute the experience as a whole and at the same time uniquely identified against each other. When their relationships turned clearer, I think my definition of "interactive experience" became more accurate. Moreover, in creating my own five dimensions, I discovered the relationship between the dimensions and myself. I thought of my own experiences, the choices I have made for my life, the knowledge I had in my head, and some designs I've seen and were beautiful. Meanwhile, my learning didn't proceed through lectures or reading, but experiencing the "interactive experience" myself and turning it into something that belongs to me. Therefore, "interactive experience" is no longer a blurry abstract concept in the textbook but something tangible, like a piece of memory, a work I created, or some of my thoughts I expressed etc...
