I don't credit the visual form of the Mac Air to Interaction Designers. In an interview in the NY Times, Steve Jobs mentions going through roughly 100 design prototypes and then wondering if they could fit a computer in there. That was primarily Industrial Design in collaboration with Engineering. pankaj wrote: > What part of the Mac Air belongs to IxD? To me, the most significant contributions from an Interaction Design (IxD) point of view are the remote disc feature, the multi-touch trackpad and (assumably) a works-for-sure power/reset key. // jeff . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
