Abstract

The first objective of this paper are to introduce a strong theoretical concept as a proposed model that visualizes the process of realizing empathy, based on the ample analysis of the collected work in the survey. Secondly, the intended purpose of this proposed model, is to create an initial blueprint that may be applicable to a range of disciplines with clear must-have concepts important to consider for the realization of empathy between people and their technology.For this reason, after the model is explained, this paper exemplifies tools for its application and a couple of encouraging case study projects that begin to integrate this model into their interactive experiments.
