Designing persuasive interactive environments

Abstract

Ambient Intelligent environments are interactive environments that can sense human behaviour and can respond intelligently. This workshop explores how interactive environments can be designed with persuasive quality, hereby influencing human experience and behaviour. The workshop follows a research-through-design approach in which practise-relevant insights are gained while designing. The focus will be on intuitive and rational decision-making, the role of aesthetics in persuasion, social and spatial influences as well as technological influences on persuasion, evaluation methods for persuasion, and the ethics of designing for persuasion.
