ABSTRACT
This paper presents a design approach tackling the transformation of behavior through 'interactive materiality' from a phenomenological perspective. It builds upon the Interaction Frogger framework that couples action to reaction for intuitive mapping in intelligent product interaction. Through the discussion of two research-through-design cases, the augmented speed-skate experience and affective pen, it highlights the opportunities for design of an action-perception loop. Consequently, an approach is suggested that defines three steps to be incorporated in the design process: affirming and appreciating current behavior; designing continuous mapping for transformation; and fine-tuning sensitivities in the interactive materiality. Thereby, it discusses how behavior transformation through interactive materiality derived from a theoretical level, can contribute to design knowledge on the implementation level. The aim of this paper is to inspire design-thinking to shift from the cognitive approach of persuasion, to a meaningful and embodied mechanism respecting all human skills, by providing practical insights for designers.

Understanding interaction design practices
CHI '11: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThere is an undesirable gap between HCI research aimed at influencing interaction design practice and the practitioners in question. To close this gap, we advocate a theoretical and methodological focus on the day-to-day, lived experience of designers. ...
The multiple layers of materiality
DIS Companion '14: Proceedings of the 2014 companion publication on Designing interactive systemsThis is a work-in-progress, in which we theoretically reflect on notions of materiality from Interaction Design research and the scientific field of textual studies to discuss what it means to work with digital materials, and what their materiality is. ...
Understanding agency in interaction design materials
CHI '12: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe draw on the concept of agency in order to understand the process of how design materials 'talk back' to designers. In so doing, we illustrate the various levels at which agency can emerge in the context of intensive short-time prototyping sessions. ...
