The Research Of Emotional Design On Wearable Devices

As a result of the developing and progressing of Science and technology together with boosting capital and human resources in this field,the industry of smart wearable devices amazingly grew in the past few years,there are an increasing number of people from various occupations and ages who start to get to know and make use of the wearable devices in their daily lives,which makes them a new fashion trend under the circumstance of the extremely rapid spreading of mobile Internet.They themselves are making use of their unique advantages to gradually share the information from PC,laptops and smart phones.Soon they seem not only to be some simple electronic consumption goods,but also some combination of intimate housekeepers,personal coaches and security assistants.By then,a brand new life style with interactive experience are provided to users.For the wearable devices with various shapes,function and interactive mode on the market,the demands from users are gradually converting from fun to useful and emotionally attached.So the emphasis of product design is also gradually changing from the function design in tradition to establishing emotional attachment.Although the market is still fulfilled and running with a large amount of products which share the problems of user-unfriendly,high operating cost and neglecting the subconscious demand of users,the design of wearable devices shall be focused on humanization,like being thoughtful and stimulating positive emotions,which is also the aspects the users concern most.In this paper,smart wearable devices are studied,theoretically based on emotional design and user experience design,we use the human-computer interactive as a start point,to acknowledge the subconscious demands of users,then to add the emotionally interactive mode into the wearable devices.From the current types,applying fields,development status and developing trend of the wearable devices,we analyzed how the theoretical basis of emotional design and innovative theory of user experience would help and guide the design of wearable devices,we explored how to achieve the communication between users and smart wearable devices on emotional level in a better way,to solve problems and optimize the devices.Wearable devices based on emotional design can be focus on users' emotional pursue much more than the current existing ones,and they will also bring pleasant and humorous feelings and emotional experience.Through the collation and research of case study of market backgrounds,service status,user pain points,development trends,on the basis of the theory of emotional design,through the deep research and analysis of emotional design of visceral,behavioral and reflective level and according to three dimensions of smart watches on a physical level,the interactive level and product form,we proposed the optimization scheme.Finally,the view of current wearable devices industry and the authoritative study results are organized and summarized,and the views and suggestions for the future development trend of wearable devices based on emotional design are given.
