UI UX Design can be enhanced using microinteractions and this is how - Bangalore

In its most basic sense, microinteractions are individual moments in the product design that accomplish a particular task, while enhancing what is intended to be the natural product flow. They are what bridge UI and UX, where functionality meets design – and they are everywhere.

We as consumers see and interact with these interactive UI components daily, even without knowing. A ‘Like’ button is one of the simplest examples. A few others are:

• A simple scroll bar that appears in the user interface as you scroll the mouse
• Swiping left to clear a notification on your iPhone home screen
• Ability to see that the other person is ‘typing’ on messaging apps
• A progress bar indicating the download percentage
• Pull to refresh, to reload the content on the screen of a mobile application screens
• Interactive error pages like the dinosaur game on google chrome

Micro-interactions are helpful because they provide feedback to the user by letting them know the status of an interaction, like a loading bar, for instance. Helping users see direct, real-time results of their interactions enhance the usability and the sense of direct manipulation to which users respond favorably — when they press a button, they immediately know action has been triggered through the user interface, giving a sense of control. Often, microinteractions and good UI UX design determine the platform's success.

Structure to follow for microinteractions

Microinteractions work on a standard four steps. These are;

1- Trigger: a trigger is the start of the micro-interactions. It can be initiated by the user or the system itself.

User-initiated microinteractions can be pressing a button, swiping, scrolling, or clicking; system-initiated triggers, on the other hand, happen when certain qualifications are met, and the system decides to initiate a trigger. For example, a pop-up animation, or a notification can be system triggered. Check out the microinteractions on <a href="https://www.neointeraction.com/">Neointeraction design</a> to understand the concept better.

2- Rules: UI UX rules determine what happens after the trigger is initiated.

3- Feedback: is what motion happens once the trigger is initiated, basically, everything the user hears sees, or feels (e.g. vibration motion) counts as feedback. For example, when you swipe, that is a trigger; and the animation you see on the screen (changing of the colors, highlights, or the screen in an animated way) is the feedback.

4- Loops & Modes: determine the meta-rules of the microinteraction, they are needed when the conditions of the microinteractions change. They may not be a part of the initial design, but they are essential for user satisfaction.
