Emotion and interface design

Abstract

Usability has become a major notion for the conception and the evaluation of human-computer interactions. In order to push forward the quality of use, new areas of research are to be explored, and the question of end-users' emotions has become preponderant. Our view is to contribute to better ways to design and evaluate interfaces, by measuring the emotional impact of specific design strategies. In this paper, we discuss of emotional measurement methods which would fit the requirements of an interface use experience. Thus, we combine synchronous./asynchronous, objective/subjective complementary measures.
