Aims and objectives

This unit builds upon user-centred design theory and investigates the interaction between designed objects and user’s emotional experience. The unit aims to introduce students to “emotional design” and the opportunities it offers in the development and performance of a product and how it is perceived and experienced by the end user. It will give thorough consideration to user behaviour and investigate the reasons why certain perceptions are made over designed outcomes.
