week 6. slow tech & mindful interaction

Design Frictions for Mindful Interactions

 designed friction to provide "micorboundary" for system 1 changing to system 2
 System 1 v.s. system 2 thinking by Daniel Kahneman

The aesthetic of friction (Pleasurable Troublemakers)

Questions:
What are the possible experiential qualities that are elicited by slow technology? anticipation, mindfulness, reflection, microboundaries?


brainstorming and ideation of project 1.

Question: 

  1. How to design the quality of "Anticipation"?

  2. How to evaluate slow design?

  3. What is mindful interaction? How to relate it to slow design?

Reading articles:

1. Slow Technology

   p. 209 : Evaluating Slow Technology

   art work vs. tools  evaluation

   " in a way similar to the methods developed in art critique: cultivating evaluation as the art of explanation and understanding."

2. Slow Design for Meaningful Interaction

    introducing slow design principles

    Case study of JuicyMo:

      1. current use analysis 2. ideation of JuicyMo  3. explain relevance to 6 principles 4. user test with principle cards and semi-structured interview

3. Engagement through Embodiment

    propose 3 interaction movements

    analysis through interaction vocabularies (paired contrasts)

    levels of Richness, Control & Engagement (quantitatively)

Student sharing 3 slow technology design cases.

Student presentation on:
The slow design principles

 Related design cases :

Question and discussion:
1. what are the differences between slow tech and slow design?
2. What are the possible applied area of Redstrom's slow tech and the Slow Lab's design principles?

week 3. form & function in Slow Tech

1. reading: Slow Technology p. 209, Section 6, Form and Function
2. Student present "slow technology" examples


Exercise:
Slow technology design with "cross-sensory" reflection.
See p. 206, 4.2 the art of concentration

example 1: "dark & big audio"  gradually changes to "light & silence"
example 2: "noisy & dark" gradually changes to "silent & bright"
example 3: INTOUCH project: 色溫 & 溫度
