3. Generation Y Interaction

4. Interaction Quality
Playful, Instant, Responsive,
Collaborative, Expressive, Flexible
But how designers take these further in design process…?

5. Aim of research
Forming practical design guideline

6. Literature review
Aesthetic
Experience

7. Literature review
Principles
•

•
Practical use next to intrinsic value
Social and ethical dimensions
Satisfying dynamic form
Involving the whole human being

8. Mapping principles with qualities
But How ?

9. Back to the literature research
Sensitizing toolkit

10. Sensitizing toolkit
Interaction quality
Activities

11. New sensitizing toolkit
Aesthetic principle
Interaction quality
Home context
Work context

12. Interview process

Introduction of research
Conducting generative session
Using sensitizing toolkit
Wrapping up interview

13. Result
4 sets of board
for each participants

14. Practical design guidelines
• The Dynamic Form in interactive products should support the
communication activities in work context
• Interaction of social/ ethical dimension supports routine works
• Interaction of involving human sensor motor skill raises the playfulness in
work context
• Interaction involving aesthetic value and practical use is relevant to activities
for dealing with images

15. Future development
• Mapping different interaction qualities with four Aesthetic
Principles, coming up with more practical design guidelines
• Concentrating on how to prototype the interaction by using the
design guidelines that presented in this paper
