Hi Hi is a box of activities that aim to promote behavior that leads to feelings of happiness. The Hi Hi box is for playing, sharing, and reflection, guiding the user to feelings of joy. We will end up with happier people by developing artifacts that create more pleased users. Happy people are more creative, alert, and altruistic. In today’s world of Technology, things are changing how we do daily activities. Even small changes can have ever-lasting effects. What Hi Hi suggests is integrating happiness-promoting behaviors into the design of artifacts, replacing the need to create gratification as an element of the user experience.
Many prototypes were made while getting to the final design for the box. Each prototype allowed for something to be learned after watching users interact with it. These images show many of the prototypes and highlight things that were integrated into the final design of the box.
