Abstract

This poster discusses the advent of emotional/affective interfaces and key areas of late modernity, and it proposes that there could be said to exist some parallels between the development of computer interface design and the development of society as a whole. The poster suggests that research into social and cultural aspects of design may be conducive to understanding the user in a contemporary societal setting. Consequently, the poster explores why and how theories of modernity matter in understanding the practice of designing affective interfaces.
