Emotional Design Blog

This photo is a virtual creation designed to explore the complex relation of the human brain with perceptual, emotional and cognitive mechanisms. This is avirtual creation of a constantly changing dynamic of a virtual world. The was part of an experimental project based on real-time analysis and interpretation of biophysical signals which are considered essential in interaction in a virtual environment. The emotional response of the participant becomes a key element of outcomes.


Clocks were partly designed for the time conscience. Notice the three different disigns...from left to right. The first one does not tell the client whether it's 5:06 am or pm. Although it may be important to some of us. The clock in the middle requires less effort to learn the exact hour and minute. It' is clearly displayed. Not only that, if it matters, am and pm is displayed at the appropriatly. The third clock, well requires a bit more. It's possible that it gives the different times from different regions of the world/country. This one would have to be studied more closely to find that out.


The time spent in food preparation and cleanup is the part a chef's life that is not very apealing to me. Displayed are three vegetable peelers. Ones like the first two are propably in every other kitchen drawer in America. The one to the far right, the slick one, would attract me to try it out. If I was in the market for a peeler, I'd purchase that one over the other two because of its attractiveness and it appears to have a protective edge on it to protect from scraped knuckles.



This photo is just adorable by design. A real live teddy bear, perfectly designed by God. This is a 1 1/2 month old panda bear born in captivity.

Finally, this photo of an expresso machine. It is definitely an eye catcher and conversation piece. It doesn't look very user friendly, however, it attractive to set on the bar. I don't like expresso, but I would consider purchasing it
