This document summarizes key insights about user experience design for interactive systems and everyday life. It discusses how the true magic of magical objects in Harry Potter stems from the experiences they enable rather than their underlying technology. It also outlines three main insights for experience design: 1) seeing value in supporting user experiences rather than technology, 2) understanding how design can help satisfy basic human needs, and 3) seamless integration of technology into everyday life so it informs users without overburdening them. The document advocates for calm, peripheral technologies that fade into the background of activities.

What is it that makes
the objects in Harry Potter
truly Magical?

The true 'magic' of the magical
objects in HP does not rely on the
underlying technology, but
primarily stems from the
experiences that are triggered
and enabled by the objects.

Ambient Intelligence
Electronic environments that are sensitive and
responsive to the presence of people

Experience Design:
Insights & approaches

#1 Designing for User Experience
An experience is considered as “a story that
emerges from the dialogue of a person with his or
her world through action” (Hassenzahl, 2011).
The value of interactive systems lies in their ability
to support and mediate user experiences rather
than in the underlying technology or the physical
artifacts as such.

#2 Understanding Basic User Needs
Experiences are worthwhile to relive, remember
and communicate to others as they relate to basic
human needs like autonomy, competence,
relatedness (Sheldon, 2001).
Designing for user experience requires an
understanding of interactive systems at all levels:
form (how the system looks and interacts) and
function (what the system can do) should follow
from insight (why the system can help people to
satisfy their needs).

Basic User Needs: During this event I felt ...
Autonomy
That My choices were based on true interests and values.
Free to do things my own way.
That my choices expressed my "true self".
Competence
That I was succesfully completing difﬁcult tasks and projects.
That I was taking on and mastering hard challenges.
Very capable in wat I did.
Relatedness
A sense of cantact with people who care for me, and whom I care for.
Close and connected with other people who are important to me.
A strong sense of intimacy with the people I spent time with.

Calm technology: the periphery is informing without
overburdening because people can attune to
information without explicitly attending to it.
As information & communication technology becomes
increasingly mature, the technology itself can, need, and
will fade to the background of human activities
becoming far less obtrusive than is the case today.

On the phenomenology and ethics of "smart" technology - Michel Puech

mpuech

The document discusses the meaning and phenomenology of "smart" technology, with a focus on smartphones. It argues that smartphones are the paradigmatic example of a "smartifact" due to their convergence of functions, wearability, and technological transparency. Smartphones provide an intimate "proximal infosphere" and their constant presence and service functions can take on aspects of transitional objects that provide psychological reassurance. The phenomenology of smartphones blends physical and digital times and spaces as users coordinate activities across real and electronic realms.

Mini thesis presentation

You-Wen Liang

This document summarizes a mini thesis presentation on exploring interaction design between the digital and physical world. The presenter identifies three methods of integration: 1) Connected physical objects that share digital information, 2) Computer recognition of objects and gestures, 3) Embedding digital information in everyday spaces using augmented reality. The presenter proposes exploring these methods in home and public spaces. Their concept is an interactive art installation called "Curiosity Space" that uses gesture recognition to intrigue people into creating visual art, in order to study people's curiosity towards new technologies. The presentation concludes by discussing implementation testing of the concept.

Wearable computing and embodied interaction

UTFPR

The document discusses wearable computing and embodied interaction. It argues that computers currently ignore the human body and make people sedentary. Embodied interaction is presented as an alternative approach where the body actively interacts with technology in specific contexts. The document outlines the history of wearable devices and advocates for designs that consider how technology integrates with and augments the human body. It proposes methods like bodystorming and prop fiction to design for embodied interactions.

This document provides a speech for Tunghai University on the future of multimedia. It begins with asking questions to get the audience thinking about how they envision life and technology in 2050. It then discusses what multimedia is currently and how it will evolve in the future to influence various aspects of life. The speech explores how knowledge of multimedia can be applied in careers and businesses. It uses a science fiction story as an example to illustrate potential applications and ramifications of advanced technologies. The speech concludes by emphasizing that multimedia provides new experiences for consumers and makes life more meaningful when used to enable innovative services.

Digital Monism: Our Mode of Being At The Nexus of Life, Digital Media and Art

Stéphane Vial

The document discusses the concept of "Digital Monism" which is presented as an alternative to "Digital Dualism". Digital Monism posits that the online and offline worlds are inseparable and form a single, continuous reality. It is argued that we have always lived in a digitally-mediated world and that terms like "augmented reality" are redundant under Digital Monism. Several scenarios of practice are presented as examples of how Digital Monism shapes our experiences, with museums highlighted as important sites for exploring these ideas. The talk concludes that recognizing our digital monist reality can help inform issues in culture, society and ethics.

Dijk 2013 embodied cognition lecture 1 drc small

jelle1975

This document discusses embodied cognition as a basis for researching and designing interaction. It provides an overview of embodied cognition and identifies three flavors: modest, radical, and distributed computation and representation. Distributed computation and representation suggests that cognition is distributed over internal mental representations and external environmental resources. Examples are given of how tools and artifacts can serve as external memory aids and constrain problem-solving computation. The document discusses applications in interaction design, such as tangible user interfaces, and debates the limitations of only viewing cognition through the lens of distributed representation and computation.

Impact of Information Technology Multitasking on Hedonic Experience

Pierre-Majorique Léger

Conference at SIG-HCI 2018 in San Francisco. In collaboration with D-Box. Authors : Armel Quentin Tchanou HEC Montréal, Montréal, Canada armel-quentin.tchanou@hec.ca Félix Giroux HEC Montréal, Montréal, Canada felix.giroux@hec.ca Pierre-Majorique Léger HEC Montréal, Montréal, Canada pierre-majorique.leger@hec.ca Sylvain Senecal HEC Montréal, Montréal, Canada sylvain.senecal@hec.ca Jean-François Ménard D-BOX Technologies inc., Longueuil, Canada jfmenard@d-box.com This study investigates the impact of information technology (IT) multitasking on multisensory hedonic experience. Existing literature extensively studies the impact of IT multitasking on user experience in a professional context but still lacks insight regarding this influence in a hedonic context. This study contributes to the literature by examining how technology can alter pleasure induced by hedonic activities. In a context of engaged IT interaction along with multisensory music listening, we hypothesize that the multisensory factor positively influences emotional reaction. We also hypothesize that IT interaction will degrade the hedonic experience. We conducted a multi-method experiment using both explicit (questionnaires) and implicit (automatic facial analysis, and electrodermal activity) measures of emotional reactions. Results support our hypotheses and highlight the importance of avoiding multitasking with technology during passive hedonic activities for better experience. Future research may examine IT multitasking’s influence on active hedonic activities.

Dijk 2013 Embodied Cognition lecture 2 Socially Situated Practices

jelle1975

Gilbert Ryle argued that cognition is not something that occurs solely inside an individual's mind, but is rather situated in social practices and interactions with the external world. He distinguished between "knowing-that" as factual knowledge, and "knowing-how" as practical skilled abilities. Researchers since then have further developed the idea that cognition is socially situated, occurring through embodied interactions between individuals and their shared social and physical environment. Sense-making is a collaborative process that involves verbal and non-verbal communication as well as the use of artifacts. Learning occurs through social interactions and participation in shared practices of a community.

Overbeeke2007

swaipnew

This document is Kees Overbeeke's inaugural lecture as a professor at Technische Universiteit Eindhoven on October 26, 2007. The lecture discusses Overbeeke's beliefs that have guided his research group, the Designing Quality in Interaction Group, in designing for human perceptual-motor, emotional, cognitive, and social skills. Some key projects from the group include interactive lamps that respond to touch. Overbeeke argues that meaning emerges from action and embodiment rather than rational thought alone. The goal of the department is to design intelligent systems, products, and services that adapt based on user needs. Overbeeke's research group sits at the intersection of professional design practice and academic research.

Why VR is a superior learning environment?

Osku Torro

VR provides a superior learning environment compared to conventional remote tools by enabling (1) shared sense-making, focus, and sociability through virtual co-presence; (2) it allows learners to focus on problem-solving rather than just solutions; and (3) emerging VR technologies will further enhance learning by increasing avatar realism, improving workflows, integrating AI, and enabling real-time shared experiences.

The artificiality of natural user interfaces alessio malizia

Marco Ajovalasit

This document discusses natural user interfaces (NUIs) and their artificiality. It begins with background on human-computer interaction moving from command line interfaces to graphical user interfaces to NUIs. It then poses two research questions on creating interfaces that feel natural to users and how to determine if an interface feels natural. The author hypothesizes that personalization can help address natural interaction by adapting to individual users over time. Expected results include determining how personalization of gestures can enable more natural interaction.

Technology inspiring creativity and vice versa

Raffaele de Amicis

Many of us feel inspired by technology, both emotionally and creatively. Others are evangelists of the idea that once we rely on technology, we lose the ability to be creative. The objective truth is, however, that technology and creativity often go hand in hand. Creativity is innate and ubiquitous to human actions and thoughts, and has been one of the key driving forces of innovation throughout human history. The description of properties that define a creative mind has long eluded a precise definition. Traditionally, creativity has been linked with literature and art, but since the last century, science has also been acknowledged as reliant on creative processes. In contrast to literature and art, in which it is necessary to comprehend the underlying properties of space and how such properties are experienced by different observers, a creative technological idea entails both originality and appropriateness. Creativity inspires technology not only from a perspective of generation of novel ideas but also in a way that idea produces a verifiable representation of new processes of interaction between people. On the other hand, technology facilitates the access to social networks and large amounts of information, as well as the ability to interactively improve our ideas. In the past, people assumed that creativity has a strict consequence of personality traits of specific individuals. However, recent studies advocate that in addition to particular individual trails creativity also depends on the social and cultural context. For example, in a recent study, Vera John-Steiner analyzed of some of the greatest minds in our history, e.g. personalities like Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein, and concluded that their breakthroughs were depended also on collaboration’ activities and social support. The mutually beneficial relation between technology and creativity, allow us to expand our cognitive abilities to new levels of creativity at a much faster pace than before, but if such relation is not properly balanced it can lead to both distractions and interferences with our natural rhythm of life, thereby suppressing our innate ability to create. Hence, the truth question is how can use creativity to design technology to take the way we express our thoughts and innovate to a whole new level. In this talk, I will speculate starting from my own perspective, on how technology is and can support the process of producing creative works, as well as how professionals involved in creativity activities are nowadays exploiting technology to assist their creations.

Tangible User Interface Showcase

Simone Mora

This document provides an overview of physical and embodied user interfaces. It begins with definitions of physical user interfaces and a brief history of their emergence related to ubiquitous computing. It then discusses frameworks for designing physical interfaces, including MCRit and Reality-Based Interaction, that aim to combine physical and digital aspects. The document showcases several research projects applying physical interfaces in domains like learning, social interaction, and information visualization. It concludes by outlining pros like increased usability and enjoyment, as well as challenges like requiring design of both physical and digital aspects and accounting for social/cultural contexts of physical interaction.
