“…Similarly, the reminder bracelet also included LEDs as a component for notifying "its users in a subtle and silent manner using light, color and patterns" [30]. In addition to light, subtle as a property has been used for modalities such as pneumatic/ compression [59,60,76], thermal [39], auditory [52], and vibrotactile [8,16] feedback. This shows that subtle stimuli can be created in a wide range of modalities, for example, by reducing the intensity of a stimulus.…”

Human-computer interaction is replete with ways of talking about qualities of interaction or interfaces, including if they are expressive, rich, fluid, or playful. An example of such a quality is subtle. While this word is frequently used in the literature, we lack a coherent account of what it means to be subtle, how to achieve subtleness in an interface, and what theoretical backing subtleness has. To create such an account, we analyze a sample of 55 publications that use the word subtle. We describe the variants of subtle interaction in the literature, including claimed benefits, empirical approaches, and ethical considerations. Not only does this create a basis for thinking about subtleness as a quality of interaction, it also works to show how to solidify varieties of quality in HCI. We conclude by outlining some open empirical and conceptual questions about subtleness. CCS CONCEPTS • Human-centered computing → HCI theory, concepts and models; Interaction paradigms.
