Abstract

In a technological mediated world, individuals see each other through interfaces: during their daily tasks, at work or in leisure, they increasingly communicate through technological interfaces. Because emotions play an essential role in human communication process, and they are naturally present in humans through body external signals, we think it is important to maintain them in the interface. Therefore in this paper we propose a Communication Design approach for the development of an interface that conveys the expression of emotion, through the use of multimedia contents.
