Evaluation of human-computer interfaces that aim at shaping users' pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors should consider measuring participants' affinity with nature: analyses of user studies in this context have to discriminate a possible effect on the results. This paper proposes to guide the choice between 21 questionnaires available in the...

Many interfaces have been proposed to support environmental behavior in domestic spaces. However in France, according to INSEE we spent in 2019 1680 hours working on average, often in a dedicated place where an environmental behavior can also be adopted. A preliminary study suggests an increase in hedonic and pragmatic qualities of a tangible eco-f...

In the last decade, HCI research has proposed promising technologies for shape-changing interfaces. The usefulness and the user experience of shape-change are, however, still to be explored and understood. This paper extends the understanding of the potential utility and usability of axisymmetric shape-change. First, we present 16 potential use cas...

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a means for Information and Communication Technologies to help facing the climate-change challenge. Researchers have conducted work on this way for two decades. They followed the track of progressive change through persuasion for individual consumption reduction. This track is however seriously discussed which le...

International audience In recent years, tangible user interfaces, which imply interactions performed with one or several objects, gain more and more interest in research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). The tangible object represents a subject or an action. It acts on the system, as an action in classical user interfaces (e.g,. GUI). Interactio...

Persuasive interactive systems, designed past years, have notably aimed energy management. Using tangible interfaces seems an opportunity to interface these systems on social spaces. We examine their design properties in view of the Transtheoretical model of behavior change, make two hypotheses on their superiority for two persuasion steps and prop...

The past ten years, at the intersection between psychological persuasion and human-computer interaction, some interactive systems have been designed with the aim to reach energy efficiency and sufficiency. We question the types of user interfaces of these systems, the persuasion steps covered, and the spaces targeted by these systems. We have built...

Depuis quelques années les interfaces tangibles impliquant des interactions réalisées via un objet (ou plusieurs) prennent de plus en plus d'importance dans les recherches en interaction homme-machine. L'objet tangible représente un sujet ou une action ; l'objet agit sur le système, telle une action sur une interface « classique ». L'interaction su...

Pour son 5e atelier, les 13 et 14 Novembre 2013, le groupe de travail "Interaction Tangible" prévoit d'initier l'écriture d'un article généraliste et collégial à propos de l'interaction tangible et des interfaces utilisateur tangibles. Le groupe avait déjà commencé à discuter de ces aspects (définition, modèles) lors du 2e atelier à Paris le 16 Fév...

In this work-in-progress, we present early comparative experiences with methods for designing tangible user interfaces (TUIs).
