interactdepth
Inter interactdepth is a concept used in human-computer interaction to describe the depth of user interaction that an interface supports. It refers to the number of distinct interaction layers, states, or steps a user can traverse within a task, from an initial overview to detailed actions or settings. The term is not universally standardized but is employed to discuss how much navigation, disclosure, and option hierarchy a design exposes to users.
Measurement and evaluation of interactdepth often involve qualitative and quantitative methods. Possible metrics include the maximum
Applications of interactdepth span across user experience design, onboarding, and documentation. It is relevant for evaluating
Examples include nested settings menus, wizard-style forms that unfold over several steps, a command palette with
Limitations include the risk that greater depth increases cognitive load and task time, potentially hindering discoverability
