Measurement of User Emotion and Experience in Interaction with Space

Abstract

Designer-oriented space design has been transferred to user-oriented space design that considers users' emotions as well as the functions of the space, producing a multi-sensory space. Further, with the advent of embedded digital media and information technology in a space, various interface functions of the space have been developed and the user experience in the space has been much extended. This research investigated user experience and emotional aspects of a space's design, which have been sparsely researched previously. Further, authors emphasize not only the emotion expression of the space, but also the interaction of people and space for the embodiment of the emotions from a wider perspective. Authors reviewed multidisciplinary literatures and compared various methodologies of measurement. Based on the understanding of the studies on the measurement of emotion, authors developed measures of emotion in interaction associated with spaces. The strength of the research is the focus on the integration of the space with technologies and user experiences from a new perspective in emotion research, rather than concentrating only on the architecture components of the buildings themselves. Through empirical studies, the measurements of emotion in architectural spaces can be verified and elaborated.

The Cognitive-Emotional Design and Study of Architectural Space: A Scoping Review of Neuroarchitecture and Its Precursor Approaches

“…Neuroscience and VR can be combined [ 322 ]. This combination allows researchers to develop virtual environments and record the neurophysiological and behavioural responses of experimental subjects [ 323 , 324 , 325 , 326 , 327 , 328 ]. It has been suggested that this combination is more rigorous than research in physical settings using self-reports [ 329 ].…”

A Comparative Evaluation of Utility Value Based on User Preferences for Urban Streets: The Case of Seoul, Korea

“…The cognitive preference related to placeness to be reinforced by place attachment or place identity in the system of thinking. As a result, the relative value of placeness is sometimes evaluated fairly higher from a subjective point of view [15,[40][41][42]. Accordingly, clearer and stronger preference for user-perceived placenessrelated characteristics is associated with relatively higher user utility.…”

NeuroArquitectura: nuevas métricas para el diseño arquitectónico a través del uso de neurotecnologías

“…La simulación ambiental y la realidad virtual pueden combinarse (Hemeida & Mostafa, 2017;Riva, 2003). Esto permite presentar ambientes mientras se toman los registros neurofisiológicos del usuario (Bohil, Alicea, & Biocca, 2011;Cho & Kim, 2017;Ergan, Radwan, Zou, Tseng, & Han, 2019;Merril, 1997;Radwan & Ergan, 2017). Sinergia que resulta atractiva tanto para la investigación clínica (Tarr & Warren, 2002), como para la arquitectura (Jelić, Tieri, De Matteis, Babiloni, & Vecchiato, 2016).…”
