1. Why design for user emotions?

What is emotion design?

• Focus on function in design is NOT enough

• Neuroscience breakthroughs point to emotion

• Designing to evoke and utilize emotions

• A competitive differentiator (in the iphone age)

own• Interface ‘friction’ is minimal

How Emotion Design works

For Websites, portals, Intranets.

Software, Web applications. Embedded or mobile

devices, hardware products.

-Perception of credibility

-Trust

-Perception of security

-Overall perceived ease of use

Google “What is Emotion Design?”

-Improved user satisfaction

-Perceived software quality

-Subjective judgment or product "appealingness" (hedonic quality)

-Deep attachment or bonding with the product

10 Rules to Augment Fun and Beauty in Interaction Design

1. Don’t think products, think experiences. Provide a context for the experience to unfold.

2. Don’t think beauty in appearance, think beauty in interaction. Aesthetics should guide the interaction, not be separated from usage .

3. Don’t think ease of use, think enjoyment of the experience. Problem-solving can be made enjoyable.

4. Don’t think buttons, think rich actions. Choose interactions that support the broader goal, not just the standard design element.

5. Don’t think labels, think expressiveness and identity. Instead of labeling icons and controls, design them to stand out or call screaming attention to the task.

6. Metaphor sucks. Choose unique identity over relying on tired and unreliable metaphors.

7. Don’t hide, don’t represent. Show. Choose transparency instead of hiding processes and describing what the user can’t see.

8. Don’t think affordances, think irresistibles. Beauty can evoke interaction, not just a functional clue or “affordance”.

9. Hit me, touch me, and I know how you feel. Study the rich actions surrounding a products use and design to those emotions.

10. Don’t think thinking, just do doing. Get hands on with the design early on. Keep visual representations in step with cognitive guidelines and requirements.

What’s the difference?

Usability

• Focus on functional use

• Ease of use• Logic breaking points• Errors and failure

modes• Emotion is un-reliable

Emotion Design

usability

Measuring Emotion

• Emotion is not processed in the left brain

• For adequate measurement you need to measure with non-verbal scales

• PrEmo is the only proven and practical tool for measuring product emotion

• LEMtool is a new tool for measuring web based emotions based on PrEmo framework
