Justin Lee's Profile

-Being a younger discipline relative to industrial design, the role of interaction design in ICT embedded product design and development activity had the similarities to that of industrial design in the same activity.

-The most extensive collaboration between industrial design and interaction design is seen at Planning and Concept Design stages in ICT embedded product development activity.

-It comes out that besides designing interactions, interaction designers work as user researchers and design managers in ICT embedded product development activity. As the products become more and more complex in terms of interactions, interaction designers will gradually need to manage the design and development teams. There will be a need for a new sub-field of interaction design which is supposed to emerge as interaction design management.

-Comparing with industrial design, interaction design is foreseen to have a wider activity area in Planning, Concept Development and System Level Design stages of ICT embedded product development activity.

-As interactions with products become more and more immaterial, service design is supposed to turn out to be a new actor in ICT embedded product design and development activity.
