“…Colour psychology focuses on the relationship between the phenomenon of colour composition and human psychological consciousness. Through people’s visual colour, it exerts an influence on perception, emotion, memory, and other emotions, among which the colour of the living environment is closely related to the development of human psychology [ 6 , 7 , 8 ]. Shen et al (2021) and Dupont et al (2017) argued that in a landscape with coordinated colour collocation, people can directly stimulate nerves by feeling the colours of different landscapes, which plays a role in conveying emotion, relaxing the body and mind, and fostering interpersonal communication, and thus has a positive impact on people’s physiological, mental, and emotional health [ 9 , 10 ].…”

From the perspective of emotional preference, studies have been conducted about landscape healing for subhealth people in the National High-Tech Zone (the study area). Combined with a preliminary practice investigation, Unity 2019 was used to make a digital roaming landscape, and 91 subjects with a history of mental subhealth diseases were randomly invited to participate in the immersive experimentation of the Human–Machine Environment Synchronisation (ErgoLAB) platform. After the experiment, the subjects were invited to fill in a Likert scale as the control group. The interest preference, emotion fluctuation, and healing effect of landscape colour were verified. The results show that: (1) The variation trend of interest reflected the concentration of interest in landscape, and the order of degree of interest, ranging from high to low, went Green > Yellow > Blue > Red > Orange > Purple > Cyan. (2) The subjects’ interest in landscape colour was correlated with the arousal of positive emotions. The correlation between interest in landscape colour and positive emotions, from high to low, went Blue > Green > Yellow, while the correlation between red, cyan, orange, and purple was not significant. (3) The mean skin conductance (SC) fluctuation variance of subjects was 5.594%, which confirmed that the healing effect of digital roaming landscape scenes was significant under the state of low arousal. According to the Likert scale data, subjects’ scores of the healing effect of landscapes, from high to low, went as follows: Green > Yellow > Red > Blue > Cyan > Orange > Purple. The results provide a new method for demonstrating the logical relationship between the digital landscape interest experience–emotional awakening–healing effect and providing a theoretical method and construction scheme for landscape colour configuration in the implementation of landscape healing projects.

“…Blijlevens et al, in their work for developing a scale for aesthetic pleasure in designed artifacts, listed 40 measures covering a wide range of aesthetics qualities (Table 1) [27]. At the same time, Jacobsen and Beudt found that aesthetics pleasure in the visual arts and the built environment is determined by 10 different factors (Table 1)[21].More recently, Sauer and Sonderegger used another set of six determinants to study visual aesthetics satisfaction of an everyday product (Table 1) [28].Thelistofallthese determinants or measures that affect aesthetics pleasure is quite long. Some of the measures are repeated between groups and some others look subjective.…”

“…More importantly, some of these measures are broader than limits of a measure and they need several measurements to give right results. This is the case of attractiveness in the list of Sauer and Sonderegger [28].…”

With the long period that students spend on the university campus, it becomes a familiar part of their daily routine. Many parts of the campus transform into mere functional spaces accommodating students’ activities. It is therefore a challenge to identify and investigate a suitable framework for studying the aesthetical value and attractiveness of these familiar parts. It is also questioned whether there is a relationship between students’ specialization and their appreciation of the aesthetical value and attractiveness of these familiar spaces. Using the framework of everyday aesthetics, this research investigated the students’ appreciation of the aesthetical value and attractiveness of the Engineering Campus of the University of Bahrain. The study revealed that familiar spaces on the university campus have different levels of aesthetical value that affects their attractiveness. Familiar outdoor spaces proved significant in this regard more than buildings. The study also found differences between architecture and engineering students’ appreciation of everyday aesthetics in familiar spaces and their attractiveness. The study is the first to develop a theoretical framework for the use of everyday aesthetics to investigate the aesthetics and attractiveness of familiar spaces at university campuses and opens the door for further future research.

“…In particular, it was discovered that two web design attributes—navigation bar design and performance—were the main predictors of perceived usability [ 14 ]. However, there are also recent reports suggesting that aesthetics may have little or no impact on the performance of tasks on a website [ 9 ], as well as on the user’s perception of website usability [ 10 ].…”

“…Specifically, this work contributes with a comparative examination of online shopping user experience for a purpose-built online fashion store deployed in two versions: aesthetic and unsightly (non-aesthetic). There are only a few studies comparing such variants of a website, and our study exploits this research gap [ 9 , 10 , 11 ]. It is based on a study utilizing eye and mouse/event tracking and a supplementary survey.…”

Owing to high competition in e-commerce, customers may prefer sites that ensure that good user experience (UX) and website aesthetics are one of its qualities. The method of presenting items seems crucial for gaining and maintaining user attention. We conducted a task-based user eye-tracking study with n = 30 participants to examine two variants of an online fashion store: one based on aesthetic rules and one defying them. The following aspects of item presentation were considered: height and width the ratio of product photos, website colors, rounded borders, text visibility, spacing between elements, and smooth animation. We investigated their relationship to user attention by analyzing gaze fixation, tracking user interest, and conducting a supplementary survey. Experimental results showed that owing to following the rules of aesthetics in interface design in the presented fashion shopping scenario, elements such as the recommendation area and product highlights had a significant positive impact on customer attention.
