What is Designing with Unconscious Human Behaviors for Eco-friendly Interaction about?

Eco-design has become a central research issue for interaction design, as emerging interactive products can create serious environmental impacts while products are being used. We investigate a design method and develop case studies for eco-friendly interaction. A main concept of the design method is to apply unconscious human behaviors in interaction design. Products designed with this method are expected to be used unconsciously by users with reduced environmental impacts. In this paper, we present a framework of design space matrix and initial case studies for the design method. For the framework, we identified the types of interaction behaviors causing environmental impacts and the attributes of unconscious human behaviors. Based on the framework, three design cases -a power cord, a trashcan and a speedometer of an automobile -were developed. The proposed framework and design cases can be used as a base of an advanced eco-friendly interaction design method.
