    Abstract

    Humour in interaction design has received limited attention in design and HCI conferences. In this paper, we present the results of a workshop on humor design conducted at a human-computer interaction (HCI) conference with professional designers and researchers. The workshop goals were to understand perceptions, design principles and methods for creating humour in HCI. The objective of our paper is to communicate to the design community the main ideas born during the workshop, as well as opportunities for deploying successfully humor in HCI. We believe, our work contributes in bringing to the fore a lesser known knowledge area of designing interactions that not only deliver more positive feelings to users, but also can be effectively used in changing human behaviour.
