Navigating Affective Haptics Towards Emotionally Valid Interaction Design: A Systematic Review, Mengshi Yang, Ruochen Hu, Qianqian Li, Cuiyi Lin, Min Hua

IASDR Conference Series

Touch serves as a bidirectional emotional channel in human-computer interaction. However, current affective haptic systems remain constrained by static design paradigms that overlook both the temporal dynamics of emotion and the cultural situatedness of touch. Through a systematic review of 80 HCI publications, this study explores how to design haptic interactions that transcend stimulus-response paradigms (RQ1) and establish emotionally dialogic frameworks (RQ2). Findings reveal gaps in temporal adaptability, cultural inclusivity, and multimodal expressivity. To address these, we reposition haptic interactions as bidirectional emotional dialogues through five design considerations: time-sensitive adaptation, culturally calibrated haptic semantics, multimodal actuation, ethics-embedded protocols, and real-world …

Design Next: An Emergent Paradigm Shift, Shyhnan Liou, Ingri P. Hernandez Sibo, Chi-Yi Chang

IASDR Conference Series

This paper employs Thomas Kuhn’s paradigm shift framework to analyze the evolution of design, arguing that the field is undergoing a fundamental transformation from Human-Centered Design (HCD) to Assemblage-Centered Design. Historically, design progressed from a pre-paradigm phase (artifact-centered, industrial-era design) to a normal science phase (HCD, emphasizing user needs and design thinking). However, systemic crises such as climate change, social inequality, and AI integration, revealed anomalies in HCD’s user-centric focus, triggering a revolutionary phase. Assemblage-Centered Design redefines design’s ontology (encompassing ecosystems, AI, and socio- technical systems), epistemology (relational/systemic thinking), methodology (transition/speculative design), and teleology (long-term planetary well-being over commercial usability). …
