Abstract

This article discusses the influence of emotional design in interaction between humans and the computer. To implement and verify the theory it was developed two digital interfaces: one of them does not have the user nor visual elements as its focus and the second digital interface is focused on providing a great user experience. Both interfaces have been tested by users. The results of this study claim that emotional design can influence the experience of human/computer interaction.
