A method for analysing emotion and motivation for design of affective user interfaces is described. Theories from psychology of emotion and motivation are applied in user-centred design to analyse desired influences on users, and plan appropriate UI features, based on a scenario-based approach that analyses affective situations. The method informs design of multimedia and agent-based user interfaces for persuasive technology applications and domains where the user interface may have emotive effects. Use of method is illustrated with a case study in health informatics for a persuasive technology application.

  • What User Product Experiences Is It Currently Possible to Integrate Into the Design Process
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING DESIGN, ICED' 07 28 - 31 AUGUST 2007, CITE DES SCIENCES ET DE L’ INDUSTRIE, PARIS, FRANCE WHAT USER PRODUCT EXPERIENCES IS IT CURRENTLY POSSIBLE TO INTEGRATE INTO THE DESIGN PROCESS Jorge MAYA CASTANO Product Design Engineering Program EAFIT University ABSTRACT Nowadays much of the discussion about innovation in products is related to the user’s affectivity. Emotions, affection, pleasure, kansei, the senses, etc. generated by the product, are frequently the salient arguments (benefits) of products. There are appropriate theories and methods in existence today for finding these arguments. Nevertheless, within all these theoretical developments, there is no unifying concept existing that allows one to compare concepts and the purpose of the methods. The bibliography of these theories and methods is vast and diverse since they are different phenomena, which are conceptualized and investigated in different ways and which, additionally, sometimes interact. The purpose of this paper is to recognize what types of user product experiences can currently be integrated into the design process. On the one hand, the methods used to integrate user product experiences in 38 projects of innovative design were researched. On the other hand, more than 100 articles on these methods of integration of the user product experiences were reviewed. In both cases content analyses were made to find out which product experiences it is currently possible to integrate into the design processes. In order to implement the contents analysis it was necessary to solve a problem: How to determine what is the product experience faced by the method? Two lists of terms that represent diverse user product experiences integrated in industrial projects, as by the literature methods, were obtained.

  • An Eye- Tracking Study
    Exploring the Impact on User Information Search Behaviour of Affective Design: An Eye- Tracking Study Sehrish Sher Khan and Haiming Liu[0000−0002−0390−3657] Institute of Research and Applicable Computing, University of Bedfordshire, Luton, UK [email protected] [email protected] Abstract. Affective design has made a significant contribution to user experience and satisfaction in human-computer interaction. As an important developing research field, user-centred information search system design should benefit from the theories and approaches of affective design. It is especially beneficial to the interactive health information search, where the search tasks can give users negative emotions. This paper explores the impact of affective design on health information search behaviours in terms of online interaction, query formulation and result selection through an eye-tracking user study. Eye-tracking experiment results show that affective design has a positive impact on the user’s information search behaviour. For example, the users tend to form more precise search query formulation, spend more time on the search, and explore and find more relevant results for the task, and they interact more with the affective design features on the search interface. Keywords: Affective Design; Online Health Information Search; User Behaviour; Eye-Tracking Study. 1 Introduction The aim of this paper is to explore the impact of affective design on health information search behaviour in terms of online interaction, search query formulation, and result selection using an eye-tracking study. The idea of affective design in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is not new [24]. Affective design has made a significant contribution in HCI in terms of supporting users’ affective needs [18].

Each manuscript explores the research data from a different perspective, both pragmatically and theoretically: 1) comparing the figured worlds of makerspace and classroom as learning environment; 2) participants developing ontologically through the exploration of making in the context of STEM curriculum; and 3) participants growing as designers through making.

SIMIONESCU has been approved for the Department of Educational Studies and The Patton College of Education by Greg Kessler Professor of Educational Studies Renée A. Middleton Dean, The Patton College of Education 3 Abstract SIMIONESCU, DANA, C., Ph.D., May 2020, Instructional Technology The Impact of Emotional Design on the Effectiveness of Instructional Materials Director of Dissertation: Greg Kessler Emotional design refers to those features of design that do not have any specific informational or pedagogical function, but are aimed at stimulating the affective dimension of learning. In this study, I investigated the effect of two types of emotional design of learning materials on undergraduate students’ learning outcomes and perceptions, within the theoretical framework of the Cognitive Affective Theory of Learning with Multimedia (Moreno, 2007; Moreno & Mayer, 2007). The research design was experimental, with participants randomly assigned to each condition. The independent variable was the type of design of the learning materials (a short biology lesson). The materials were designed in four versions: plain lesson consisting of text with simple black and white graphics; text with images that were designed based on emotional design principles for visual design (using warm colors and anthropomorphisms); text with simple black and white graphics plus basic storytelling elements (a character, a very simple plot, and narrative tenses); lesson with both enhanced graphics and storytelling elements.

Affective design is an umbrella term for research and practice being conducted in diverse domains, all with the common thread of integrating emotional aspects of use into the creation of information products.

  • Exploring the Relationships Between Affective Character Design and Interactive Systems
    Exploring the Relationships between Affective Character Design and Interactive Systems THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Fine Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kellen R. Maicher Graduate Program in Industrial, Interior and Visual Communication Design The Ohio State University 2013 Master's Examination Committee: Alan Price, Advisor Maria Palazzi Carolina Gill Copyright by Kellen R. Maicher 2013 Abstract Emotional content facilitates human communication by adding depth and complexity to the information being transferred. By providing additional layers of meaning to the communicative process, affective display can reinforce, expedite, and clarify the messages being sent. Interactive systems can benefit from the same advantages that emotional communication provides by offering affective information channels. Consequently, affect and emotion can be important design considerations for creating interactive systems. Affect and emotional content can be applied to such systems through the use of interactive virtual characters. Since we recognize, process, and interpret the emotional cues of other people, virtual characters can serve as familiar, intuitive interfaces for sharing affective content. However, the design of these characters is highly dependent on the nature of the systems for which they are created. Without a fundamental understanding of the purpose and content of a particular system, it can be very difficult to determine which affective attributes to apply to a specific character. As such, designers need to understand the dynamic relationships between affect, interactive virtual characters, and the systems in which they reside. The purpose of this thesis project was to explore these relationships by creating an interactive installation using a virtual character to communicate with users through ii affective display.
