Engeström의 활동 시스템 기반의 기본적인 활동체계를 통한 자연스러운 행동 인터페이스 디자인 프레임워크에 관한 연구

Abstract

User-centered thinking is incorporated into many contemporary design practices. However, some practices may lack a thorough consideration of the user-product relation during the product development. This paper introduces natural behaviour interface through a theoretical approach to the activity system, for the purpose of facilitating a more natural subconscious interaction between the user and the product. It first presents an analysis of activity theory and activity-centered design to identify their constituent elements and to understand the nature of design focused on user-product focused design: affordance design and natural behavior interface design, through case analyses. Ultimately, the paper aims to introduce a natural behavior interface design framework as an effective means of correlating a product's main operation with the user's natural behaviour and thus closing the gap between the subject, mediating artifacts and the object. Furthermore, a product that considers natural behaviour interface as a higher chance of triggering the user's emotion, can foster the user's deeper attachment to the product.
