Emotion-based User Interfaces

Thematic Area: Knowledge

Emotions guide life of people. The important role of emotions in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) has been widely accepted beyond the classical usability techniques. The user is fundamental during the interaction with User Interfaces (UIs), so it is important to design interfaces taking into account also the human factors, such as the emotional state. This research aims to investigate the impact of some Web design criteria eliciting a particular emotional state on the user. The final goal is the design of Web applications able to detect physiological parameters of the user with various sensors, in order to monitor the current emotional state and to adapt the Web design with the objective of eliciting more positive emotions on the user.
