Abstract

The theme of this research is to explore and suggest solutions to the communication and interaction problems of unsociable young people. Co-living may well become increasingly common in the future, with young people residing in co-living apartments or school dormitories that increase the chance of interacting with strangers. Unsociable or less sociable residents may find it difficult to interact with their flat mates, and may fail to adopt behavior appropriate to common areas in shared living spaces and public areas. The researchers have proposed a design called the SO Chair to help such people communicate with others.
