Design concerns of persuasive feedback system

Abstract

Visual feedback is an important approach in persuasive technology. We present four significant design dimensions of persuasive feedback systems. We investigate several previous notable projects and find out the underlying metaphorical structures within them. We analyze the meaning of metaphor in the persuasive feedback design, and examine how metaphor is being used. The results tell us that metaphor analysis plays a useful role in interpreting the creativity of visual design in the persuasive feedback system.
