 * Interaction Architecture and Designing a Questionnaire **
 * Write a description of interaction architecture as defined by Mat Hunter at** [] and Rikako Sakai at [] **in relation to their work with Kodak in 1995.**

In addition, as you will be creating a questionnaire for your major assignment, read the article at [] to help you formulate the question. **How does the author define 'leading questions' and 'hypothetical questions'? Write a paragraph each to define these terms.**

Mat Hunter describes interaction architecture as a series of rules that can be applied to more than one model of technology. Digital cameras are required to not only take pictures, but to perform extra operations such as reviewing pictures, deleting pictures and adding effects. Kodak used a user experience prototype to gain an understanding of the general feel of the real humanistic interface. The user interface allowed one to take and manage a picture as well as export it to an external location intuitively.

Rikako Sakai works with the Photo Stitch software and developed its third version. The structure was not visible to the user and there was too many steps to stitch the photo. She used the tab user interface instead of the step by step process. She discovered that the old version's structure was not visible to the user, and there was too many steps to stitch the photograph. There is now a user interface for the step by step process which uses animation and text to help beginners to use the program.


 * Leadings questions** are ones that force or imply a certain type of answer basically directing someone towards one choice. This can be done in the phrasing of the question or selection of answers to choose from. The answers supplied must equally cover the whole range of possible responses and the question must not put bias in favour of one of the answers.
 * Hypothetical question** are ones which are based, at best, on conjecture and, at worst, on a dream. The questioned's answer may be arbitrary having never been experienced or even considered the situation. The data that comes as a result will often be useless and of no use so should be therefore be avoided.
