Abstract

This paper presents a framework for emotional interface where a method for emotional interface evaluation is purposed and the emotion eliciting conditions in online graphic interfaces are explored. Those eliciting conditions are concerning the design elements of an online storytelling system. For the purposes of the evaluation two online storytelling interfaces are compared: a plain user friendly interface versus animated with images interface. The results are analyzed for the user's emotional responses as well as for the user's feedback on the functionality of the interfaces. It is shown that users find "positive emotion" web sites more functional, than the non emotional ones.
