Conclusion?
An interface to any experience, whether technological, physical, or conceptual must begin with the creation of meaning and the development of appropriate type of interactivity. These decisions drive the use of sensorial media to present the experience to the audience in an appropriate and supportive way. Addressing one factor without the others can contribute to an experience that is incomplete or imbalanced. In many cases, simply understanding these concepts can lead to the development of better experiences, but usually, the need to specifically address these attributes in an explicit and procedural way is necessary.
This is really not a conclusion as much as it is a beginning. There is still much for all of us to learn and share about these issues. Both Information and Interaction Design are extremely new disciplines and will grow considerably as we experiment and create. They are, however, the beginning of a better understanding about communication and will serve us well over the next phase of our development.
