Abstract

Recently, workplace settings are reflecting a shift from traditional work-oriented values to promoting work/life balance and employee well-being. Technology has the ability to contribute to workplace enjoyment through the incorporation of employee activities and health-centric initiatives. Furthermore, tangible computing and interactive media can be used to explore novel interaction methods for positive user-computer experiences. We leverage these concepts to inform the development of a playful and engaging interactive installation aimed at promoting health-oriented experiences in the workplace. In this work, we detail our initial steps and design decisions to address this objective. The result is Wall Relief, a Tai Chi-inspired interactive wall unit developed to create an engaging, ephemeral experience that guides the user through a series of upper-body movements.
