Delightful Companions: Supporting Well-Being Through Design Delight
This work addresses well-being support through design, but it appears incremental as it focuses on introducing an approach and products without demonstrating broad impact or novelty.
The paper introduces 'design delight,' an approach with six experiential qualities, and presents three design products called delightful companions aimed at supporting well-being practices, outlining future research directions.
This paper presents three design products referred to as delightful companions that are intended to help people engage in well-being practices. It also introduces the approach utilized to guide the design decisions during their creation. Design delight is the name of this approach, which comprises six experiential qualities that are regarded as antecedents of delight. The objective of this paper is to introduce the approach and the companions and state the two paths that have defined the future steps of this research.
