The first part of the workshop featured the participants’ presentations of their position papers. This allowed attendees to get an understanding of some current interactive media and cute interfaces. Based on this platform, the second part of the workshop was a facilitated discussion about how to develop next generation user interfaces to take advantage of the “cuteness” factor and establish more meaningful relationships with the users and encouraging happiness and positive experiences.
