    Abstract

    This position paper outlines a research program for the
    IxD Research Group at the IT University of
    Copenhagen. As such, it presents a range of questions
    addressing different corners of the question of time in
    IxD from the point of view of HCI, social interaction,
    material expressions, and software development.
    Our ongoing investigation of Interaction Design for a
    Good Life (http://itu.dk/IxDLab/) has uncovered a
    broad diversity of perspectives on how to unpack ‘a
    good life’ through research and design, and indeed
    what constitutes a good life to begin with. Through our
    investigations, time has surfaced as pivotal to our
    budding understanding of elements of a good life and a
    useful framing for future investigations. Time is also an
    important topic for interaction design, because it is at
    the core of interaction, the practice of design, and, in
    many ways, our use and relationships with
    technological artifacts. Here we present our initial
    thoughts on time-related research directions that we
    wish to pursue.
