- Persuasive technologies for increasing of pro-environmental behaviorsPublication . Faria, João Alexis Gordinho; Radeta, Marko; Quintal, FilipeWith global warming being contested outside the scientific community, the an thropogenic impact is recognized by the overwhelming carbon dioxide produc tion, which causes acidity to the world’s oceans. World nations fail to reach a consensus on mitigating climate change. While there are numerous techniques in aspiring pro-environmental behaviors, one of them is using persuasive inter actions and persuasive technologies. This dissertation seeks to use persuasion to provoke sustainable actions in users using interactive technologies. The dissertation expands the well-known Persuasive Systems Design framework and leverages it further with the Peak Shift Effect (PSE) principle as an artistic experience. The experimental val idation procedure of such a novel model is built using interactive Projection Mapping (PM) and, in particular, motion capture. Users are asked to toss litter items into the animated, anthropomorphic bin. The dissertation compares the role of an introduced PSE element and the role of design against interactive design in persuading people to be more pro-environmentally oriented.
