EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATION OF “PRODUCT EMOTION” COMPUTER PROGRAMME
Andrei DUMITRESCU
Abstract: This paper presents the process and the results of an experimental evaluation of the computer programme “Product Emotion” - designed by Pieter Desmet. “Product Emotion” is aimed to assess the design of a product on the basis of generated emotions. Also, the programme’s interface uses only graphical elements in order to avoid words and numbers. 69 subjects tried the programme, assessing the design of two products. Their results were statistically analysed. Their opinions were recorded and analysed. Conclusions were drawn regarding the usefulness, ease of use and precision of the programme.
Key words: product emotion, design evaluation, intuitive assessment.
