 * 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.**

According to Mat Hunter, interaction architecture is a series of rules which allow new systems to function properly. It also facilitates the design of a whole line of products, in their example, a digital camera. It gives its users and developers a chance to understand how the system performs and insight into the experience of an individual operating the device. Mat Hunter and colleagues used macromedia director and UEP to further enhance the Kodak digital camera. Rikako Sakai goes into details of the purpose of the stitch assist mode available for the digital camera. The stitch assist mode allows users to view captured photos on the left side of the LCD screen, given them a chance to compare the captured photo with a second photo. This comparison gives users the option to take their next photo as desired. They could also capture large objects in two or more takes, whereas old technology prevented comparable shots from being taken. Sakai made stitch mode simpler by adding tabs to replace the older linear model of photo stitching.


 * How does the author define 'leading questions' and 'hypothetical questions'? Write a paragraph each to define these terms.**

Leading questions are questions that influence one’s answers by limiting their response. Such questions negate objectivity, as they shape the way people would respond to a question had they not been given a question that influences them. Hypothetical questions are based on speculation or fantasy. Such questions require an individual to fanaticize situations to answer accordingly. The response reliability of such questions are questioned since its difficult to assess whether the respondent was given proper amount of time or data to reflect properly on the hypothetical scenario.
