CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING THE EMOTIONAL FACTOR IN ERGONOMICS AND DESIGN

Abstract

Considering the quick development in technology, it is more and more necessary to place the problem of studying the effects of the emotions created, both in terms of design and ergonomics. Recently, designers and ergonomists study this domain and try to communicate emotion through the products they design, in order to capture the immediate attention of the customer. In this paper, we start from the presentation of emotion, including the professional environment and then we continue to analyse the relationship between emotions, ergonomics and design, developing the arguments in terms of collaboration between ergonomists and designers.
