Abstract

Transcendence, peak experience, peak performance and flow are some of the most fundamental positive human experiences. This article explores how these experiences could be understood in human-computer interaction. A mediating concept used in the article is presence, the perceptual illusion of nonmediation in media and human-computer interaction. Positive human experiences are related to presence and implications to modeling positive experiences in human-computer interaction are discussed.
