The Role of Aesthetic Interaction in Sound Experience

Department of Creative Design EngineeringIn this paper, I examined how Aesthetic Interaction, which plays an important role in HCI, affects the evaluation of human emotion and product image when applied to products that provide an auditory experience. For this, I used a Research through Design approach and built a prototype with three elements of ???Aesthetic Interaction???. This could be measured through a self-emotion report, 29SD. The Friedman test also showed statistically significant results. These results suggest that in designing products that can provide an auditory experience, we can apply aesthetic interaction to the emotions and images that designers intentionally project.clos

Persuasive Gaming in Context

The rapid developments in new communication technologies have facilitated the popularization of digital games, which has translated into an exponential growth of the game industry in recent decades. The ubiquitous presence of digital games has resulted in an expansion of the applications of these games from mere entertainment purposes to a great variety of serious purposes. In this edited volume, we narrow the scope of attention by focusing on what game theorist Ian Bogost has called 'persuasive games', that is, gaming practices that combine the dissemination of information with attempts to engage players in particular attitudes and behaviors.This volume offers a multifaceted reflection on persuasive gaming, that is, on the process of these particular games being played by players. The purpose is to better understand when and how digital games can be used for persuasion by further exploring persuasive games and some other kinds of persuasive playful interaction as well. The book critically integrates what has been accomplished in separate research traditions to offer a multidisciplinary approach to understanding persuasive gaming that is closely linked to developments in the industry by including the exploration of relevant case studies

Designing enriched aesthetic interaction for garment comfort

This thesis describes a research through design approach to identifying comfort factors within the kinaesthetic experiences of human sensory activities and perceptions. The research explores the experience of women through the way they touch, move and feel when interacting with wool garments. The research provides (1) a body of creative work, (2) a framework of ‘enriched aesthetic interaction’ and (3) the development of design principles for the comfort and related aesthetic qualities of clothing
