The current work proposes roboticizing familiar user interfaces to allow objects to communicate with their users without the need of an additional communication modality. We implemented a light switch that is capable of kinetic gestures and report an exploratory study that investigated how na\u00efve users (n\u2009=\u200915) would respond to and interact with different gesture designs. A qualitative analysis of recorded interactions and semi-structured interviews reveal that users are surprised by unfamiliar automation and kinetic gestures serve as cues to promote discovery of the system\u2019s mechanisms and mitigate assumed helplessness.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The proliferation of smart technology in everyday objects provide an opportunity for human\u2013machine collaborations, signaling a shift from typical principal-agent relationships.
