Emotions, Technology, and Design

About this book

"Emotions, Technology, and Design addresses the emotional relationship between the objects and the subjects of design--objects being technologies, and subjects being technology users. Using philosophy and theory of emotional design as a foundation, the book discusses emotional design principles, the design and use of emoticons, and intelligent agents in a variety of settings. The volume thoroughly examines how technology design affects emotions and how to use that understanding in practical applications, and explores future research and directions."--Page 4 of cover.
