  • Abstract
    Fashionable technology is becoming a trend in HCI design. It extends the traditional understanding of HCI by emphasizing on the aesthetic element. Pervasive social communications are instant social activities through communications based on mobile elements. This paper investigates how to use the fashionable technology in pervasive social communications. It presents the design and preliminary prototype of Gemini, a fashionable bag for pervasive social communications. The social acceptance of Gemini design is also explored through a small-scale user study.
