Human-computer interaction

a design stance that exposes the seams between technologies, such as gaps in coverage or accuracy, so users can understand and use them.

In human-computer interaction, seamful design refers to a design stance that exposes the seams between technologies, such as gaps in coverage or accuracy, so users can understand and use them. This meaning comes from Chalmers (2004) in Proceedings of the 5th conference on Designing interactive systems: processes, practices, methods, and techniques.[1]
