Unit Objectives
This unit of inquiry introduces how the four-pleasure framework can be used to create designs that intentionally trigger socio-, physio-, psycho- and ideo-pleasure responses. Students must be able to suggest how the attract/converse/transact (ACT) model can be used as a framework for creating products that intentionally trigger positive emotional responses, considering desirability, usability and usefulness.
