Abstract

The emotional design approach has become increasingly preponderant for the design teams. However, we observed that most of the efforts of the designers to elicit positive emotions are based on empirical and subjective approaches. This paper shares the state of our current research towards the proposal of heuristics for emotional and empathic interfaces. We focus on the actual design practices, and discuss methodologies to assess the emotions elicited by these design strategies.

Another experiment was conducted in order to appreciate more accurately the global emotional value of a web page contents according to the emotional value of each isolated piece of content. Results showed that low-valence content had more impact than neutral or high-valence content. The global emotional evaluation of a page content should therefore be balanced accordingly [4].
