Abstract

Interfaces, created by HCI with functional and ergonomic objectives, due to the proliferation of communication landscape need today new design methodologies to develop standardized solutions. Interaction Design is the discipline that deals with these new design aspects in order to foster interactions simpler and designed for specific contexts. This paper explores the role of creativity and emotions, related to atmosphere interaction in visual interfaces. The research intends to investigate the potential of a blending approach between functionality and creativity that introduces in the user oriented design process some techniques coming from different disciplines. The main goals are: stimulate the creative process, arise inferential aspects about previous positive experience, develop aesthetic awareness of the atmosphere concept as balance of points highlighted in the studies of Cooper, Verplank and Veen. The first aim of this paper is to propose a new blending approach called 'interaction atmosphere' for further application in digital ambient.
