A User-Centered Approach to Affective Interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have built eMoto, a mobile service for sending and receiving affective messages, with the explicit aim of addressing the inner experience of emotions. eMoto is a designed artifact that carries emotional experiences only achieved through interaction. Following on the theories of embodiment, we argue emotional experiences can not be design in only design for. eMoto is the result of a user-centered design approach, realized through a set of initial brainstorming methods, a persona, a Laban-analysis of body language and a twotiered evaluation method. eMoto is not a system that could have been designed from theory only, but require an iterative engagement with end-users, however, in combination with theoretical work. More specifically, we will show how we have managed to design an ambiguous and open system that allows for users’ emotional engagement.

Behavioral Considerations in Developing Web Information Systems: User-centered Design Agenda
The current paper explores designing a web information retrieval system regarding the searching behavior of users in real and everyday life. Designing an information system that is closely linked to human behavior is equally important for providers and the end users. From an Information Science point of view, four approaches in designing information retrieval systems were identified as system-...
متن کاملDesigning Gestures for Affective Input: An Analysis of Shape, Effort and Valence
We discuss a user-centered approach to incorporating affective expressions in interactive applications, and argue for a design that addresses both body and mind. In particular, we have studied the problem of finding a set of affective gestures. Based on previous work in movement analysis and emotion theory [Davies, Laban and Lawrence, Russell], and a study of an actor expressing emotional state...

We are developing a Multimodal Affective User Interface (MAUI) framework shown in Figure 1 and described in [5], aimed at recognizing its users emotions by sensing their various user-centered modalities (or modes), and at giving the users context-aware feedback via an intelligent affective agent by using different agent-centered modes. The agent is built on an adaptive system architecture which...
متن کاملMultimodal Software for Affective Education: UI Design
This paper focuses on interaction design for multimodal software in affective education. We suggest how multimodal systems can help us, and give a proposal for how to design the systems. These are demonstrations of how the MADE framework can be applied to well-known design techniques. Our goal is to come up with human-computer interaction (HCI) design guidelines for systems to support affective...
متن کاملExploring the Affective Loop
Research in psychology and neurology shows that both body and mind are involved when experiencing emotions (Damasio 1994, Davidson et al. 2003). People are also very physical when they try to communicate their emotions. Somewhere in between beings consciously and unconsciously aware of it ourselves, we produce both verbal and physical signs to make other people understand how we feel. Simultane...
