Permaculture, interactive systems, and user experience (online)
For 10 years the Sustainable Human Computer Interaction (sHCI) and
Sustainable Interaction Design (SID) communities have debated the
contribution that HCI can make to sustainability. However, there has
been little real progress in the field with few, if any, methods arising
that take the discipline further. In this paper we present an approach that involves doing. We propose to blend aspects of permaculture and user experience (UX) development
to produce gardens that demonstrate sustainable practice and deliver a
good UX. By blending the constructs from UX with those from permaculture
and expressing the blends through the "material anchor" of gardens we
create novel design interventions. These lead to user experiences that
invite people to reflect on what sustainability really means and how
people can make a difference.
