3. Which aspect(s) of each example is considered interactive?

When and where they get to interact and communicate with the second participant/viewer/user. Thus, if they leave an impression on someone, it is interactive.

4. Is there a varied degree of interactivity in each example?

In general, all examples given are interactive in their own way.

For Passive, although they are more negative compared to reactive, it is still interactive as it affects your emotions and is still informative. However, users tend to miss out the content as they felt that it’s not engaging enough.

As for Reactive, it is similar to “Interactivity”. Both attracts the user much more. It has sound and contain visual effects which would ‘charm’ the viewers/users.

“Interactivity”, however is the most interactive as it allows users to interact with their friends online. Communication is seen and information is spreaded at the same time. More over, there will be opinions/feelings/feedbacks to each other. In short, it’s 2 sided or multi communication.

5. IF possible, explain with photos/sketch/shots/sketches of the chosen examples.

Passive

• For eg. Virus with web links such as “Check out your pictures at http://prettygirls.com/it’syou!”

 Reactive

• eg. Emoticons to represent your current emotions

 

Interactivity
