Sumario:The article discusses reflection as a fundamental question for interaction design. It argues that interactivity, one of four outlined characteristics of smart artifacts, expands the possibilities for design to steer users' sensory and cognitive processes and, ultimately, their behaviors. It reports how selecting interactive technologies opens the opportunity and perhaps even a responsibility to more profoundly address "reflection" as a design issue. It argues that the materials of interaction design can mediate and stimulate users' reflections upon their own behaviors, which they may modify in a more sustainable or healthy way.
