Activity-centered design (ACD) is an extension of the Human-centered design paradigm in interaction design.[1] ACD features heavier emphasis on the activities that a user would perform with a given piece of technology. ACD has its theoretical underpinnings in activity theory,[2] from which activities can be defined as actions taken by a user to achieve a goal.[3]
