ABSTRACT

This study explores people's relationships with digital and non-digital objects in the home--with an eye toward the ways in which products improve rather than deteriorate over time--and how this knowledge might inform the design of more enduring and sustainable interactive products. We report our research in progress and provide a collection of initial design themes and design concepts inspired by user studies.
