Abstract

This paper aims to increase understanding of how ubiquitous interactive systems could facilitate Socio-Pleasure: the enjoyment derived from relationships with others. A framework, termed THE Medium model, is presented; it describes the factors that could affect socio-pleasure and it is used to classify and design technologies.
