Where do Chinese user experience interaction designers go?

"User Experience" as a import in the country has been popular for several years, and from the current situation will continue to be popular for some time.

When a product press conference, the spokesman said that the product satisfied the user XX needs, improve the product xx aspect of the user experience such words increasingly become product launch format language.

When we practitioners pick up the "user experience" weapon to deal with the challenge of saying no to our design, even though our proposal is unreasonable, we win most of the time as a winner.

As more and more diverse people squeeze into this industry, which is thought to have more money and less people.

As a practitioner we are gratified and even proud of, after all, in the "User experience" This import swept the country, we have to flag and push. We certainly have benefited from it, good status, good treatment ...

But the happy time is always short and beautiful.

Now we will find that our colleagues are talking about the "user experience", perhaps they belong to the technical department, the marketing department, or the front desk is small mm. And you'll find the horror, when faced with the courage to say that we design bad people, pick up the "user experience" This is a magic weapon, we were stunned to find the other side also picked up this weapon, but also the use of very skilled, even more proficient than we.

As practitioners we will have a sense of loss, after all, for a period of time we regard it as a "user experience" is our special term, our enemy's secret weapon.

What is the cause of this situation? Is our own-industry practitioners.

"User Experience" tide swept, we are busy with their own art, visual designers and other old names into the "User Experience Division", "interaction designer" and so on, it seems that only this shows our high-end, we catch the tide. Although we do the same work as before, we still play the "Emperor's New Clothes" such a fairy tale.

Where should our design industry go, as the interaction designers who are born in this wave? I do not want our industry like WEB2.0 as a flash in the pan, become the concept of nothingness hype, this is the love of this industry we can not accept.

The difficult role of interactive designers:
1. We are not visual designers, but we always have to do something visually.
2. We are not front-end developers, but we always have to do something with code.
3. We are not using the research staff, but we have to consider the user's physical and psychological needs.
4. We are not pm, but we have to coordinate the resources of all parties to understand the needs, customers.
5. We are not PD, but we also need to consider product planning, processes, business goals and values.

Interaction designers have many roles, where are our core values? What are our professional models? What are the contents? I think these are still vague, not consensus. When a visual designer makes a page of visual presentation, the front-end developer develops a Web page, and the interaction designer delivers a PM, a PD, or anyone else who can complete a short period of time after learning a wireframe, flowchart?

Is this our core value? Where are the interaction designers?
