ABSTRACT
There have been studies about users' preferences on different physical styles of interactive products, but the exploration of interactivity preferences and the value of customizing its expressions have not been emphasized much yet. In this paper, we conducted a three-phase user study in order to investigate individual preferences to different qualities of interactivity and its relationship with individual differences. The results showed that people have diverse preferences for several attributes of interactivity, similar to the case for appearances of products, and there are close relationships between individual differences such as human personality traits. Based on these results, we discussed their implications for designing attractive interaction.

Exploring relationships between interaction attributes and experience
DPPI '13: Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Designing Pleasurable Products and InterfacesNot long ago, interaction was predominantly determined by technology itself or adhered to simple principles of efficiency (e.g., only three clicks away). Today interaction has to "feel good" and has to be "beautiful". This poses the question of how to ...
Interaction gestalt and the design of aesthetic interactions
DPPI '07: Proceedings of the 2007 conference on Designing pleasurable products and interfacesAlthough there has been a drastic increase in the research of aesthetics of interaction, we still lack well-defined practical knowledge of how to design aesthetic interactions. In order to develop such knowledge, we adapt three important ways of ...
Aesthetics of interaction: a literature synthesis
NordiCHI '14: Proceedings of the 8th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction: Fun, Fast, FoundationalNew technologies provide expanded opportunities for interaction design. The growing number of possible ways to interact, in turn, creates a new responsibility for designers: Besides the product's visual aesthetics, one has to make choices about the ...
