Imagine handling objects virtually and physically in real time, from thousands of miles away. The Tangible Media Group, led by MIT Media Lab’s Hiroshi Ishii, is working on such a user interaction, transforming how we may communicate and work in the future. One current project is inFORM, a dynamic-shape display that gives physical form to digital information: physical “pixels” on a table surface move in real time, in accordance with data from a motion-sensing input device. |

To create behavior change that endures, designers have only one approach that is both fast and reliable: Change the environment. The Fogg Behavior Model (B=MAT) illuminates how this approach works. Changes in environment can specify behaviors (B). They can increase or decrease motivation (M). They can make behaviors easier or harder (A). Finally, environment changes can set or remove triggers (T). |
