Innerbody using: Interactive and multisensory interfaces to design behavioral change

Abstract

The authors propose using interactive and multisensory interfaces to design user behavior change. For this purpose, they used coauthor Nikolic’s interactive art installation InnerBody, created to provoke health-care–related behavioral changes by arousing death anxiety. Visitors are invited to undertake a (fake) medical examination by interacting with the installation’s human heart–shaped interface. Research outcomes are presented based on visitors’ observations and participant responses in interviews after interacting with the installation.
