| Summary: | The growth of techno-dependency and the proliferation of creative
engagement have spurred research towards the creation of human
values through digital engagement. Against the backdrop of
technology evolution, research on human computer interaction
(HCI) has begun to explore dimensions of human value derived
from the aesthetics of interaction. This desire for beauty aligns to
the Maslow's hierarchy of human needs which acknowledge that
humans needs aesthetic satisfaction to realize self-actualization.
However in the past, the main focus of aesthetics in HCI research
was on visual beauty of the user interface. To further explore new
forms and perspective of aesthetics of interaction, we present the
notion of graceful interaction. In this paper, we present the
theoretical understanding derived from the multidisciplinary areas
of human basic movement, aesthetics and interaction design into a
graceful interaction phenomenon of interactive interface as an
attempt to build the foundations for the graceful interaction
framework. We also argue that the aesthetics of human movement
can be applied to the online environment and illustrates how the
movement paradigm and can be aligned and mapped into user
experience interaction design. Based on these theoretical
understandings, several theoretical propositions are formed to
describe the aesthetics dimensions of graceful interaction. |
