Our research laboratory works on domestic appliances and communicating objects for the home. We are currently focusing our research on emotional communication. How to declare emotions? How to transmit emotion? How to deliver and display emotions? Working with a user centric approach, we had interviews and creativity sessions with users, and research experts. We ended up with several applications and communicating devices that covers the spectrum of suggestions. We have been able to test a first set of objects and with the feedback from these users we developed another set of emotional communicating devices. We present here both the process and the achievements of this work.
