ABSTRACT
Many emerging technologies, products and services today try to use diverse methods of interaction to provide playful experiences. Increasingly more interactive features and techniques are being introduced to afford users new experiences and enrich our living environment. While many of these playful experiences can be achieved through various types of physical, sensory and social interactions, this paper attempts to focus on how 'no-interaction' can achieve playfulness in relation to our cognitive experience. If there is a way to give someone a playful experience without any physical, sensory and social interactions, where and how can we apply this approach or phenomenon? Here we share a provocation that tries to demonstrate a tangible means whereby such an idea could be used to explore potential user experiences within HCI.

Applying the PLEX framework in designing for playfulness
DPPI '11: Proceedings of the 2011 Conference on Designing Pleasurable Products and InterfacesIn addition to functionality and usability, interactive products are increasingly expected to provide pleasurable experiences to their users. Playfulness is a part of these experiences. However, playfulness can manifest in many different ways as humans ...
Exploring playfulness in user experience of personal mobile products
OZCHI '10: Proceedings of the 22nd Conference of the Computer-Human Interaction Special Interest Group of Australia on Computer-Human InteractionUser experience (UX) has been under extensive research in recent years. However, current UX models do not address in detail what the users' experiences are when they are interacting with products. In our research, this question is explored by evaluating ...
The flow principle in interactivity
IE '05: Proceedings of the second Australasian conference on Interactive entertainmentThis paper argues that true interactivity is a feedback loop of action-reaction-interaction and involves collaboration or exchange (with real or computer agents). Central to this argument is physical interactivity as a defining feature of new media in ...
