Abstract

This paper explores how designers may communicate with the users of their products through haptic design. More specifically; how tactile properties of materials evoke emotions such as satisfaction; joy; or disgust. A research through design approach has been followed; mood- and material boards and prototypes of four ‘haptically enhanced’ (physical) keys were created. Types of keys selected include home; bicycle; hobby; and basement. An experiment with ten participants was conducted; using word association and a software to elicit product emotions (PrEmo). Results show a mapping between the designer’s intent and the user’s inference. We conclude that it is thus viable to communicate emotions using haptic design. Moreover; we found that when using their sense of touch; participants’ previous positive or negative memories and experiences were projected onto the objects.
