Why do we like to touch some objects more than others?
Interactive Objects are designed to behave in particular ways when they are handled – for example gaming controllers that vibrate, or children’s toys that light up or make noise when squeezed. When interactive objects are under development, it is important for designers to understand how people will react to them, and what might make objects more aesthetically appealing. This is where psychology comes in.
