This document discusses designing kind experiences through anticipating and meeting people's unmet needs. It provides examples of kindness built into everyday experiences in Japan, like undo buttons on elevators. The authors argue that designing kind experiences is about understanding needs and acting on them generously without expecting anything in return. They note that Japan has a long tradition of designing consideration into experiences through principles like "omotenashi," and that subtle automation, hidden enhancements, and adaptive interactions could apply these kindness principles to technology.
