Emotion, behaviour & human context

The second Mobile Design UK event was held in London on 23rd February and ribot were invited to give one of the talks. We’d originally planned to talk on the design process for mobile applications but at the last minute decided to present something more conceptual and thought-provoking: the topic of emotion, behaviour and human context. How do real-world interactions affect those with your mobile device? How do learned mobile-specific behaviours affect those in the “real world”? Will emotional attachment be re-introduced into our digital interfaces with the help of haptics? These were some of the questions we ask in the short presentation below.
