Abstract

The product generated in this project aims to develop offline version of an emotion measure instrument and the objective of the project is to combining the convenience of physical product and the clarity of animations. By analysing some other emotion measurement instrument as well as previous work of PrEmo, some opportunities that could help to improve the offline product. Through a group discussion, some inspiring ideas were generated and five design directions formed. Eight interviews were conducted to get users’ requirements of PrEmo and also assess the five design concepts. Four qualities were summarized and the ideal solution was selected. After some exploration and several iterations, the final prototype was made. It is a set of acrylic cards with manual guiding people to use it. An application was also developed for users to watch the animations of emotions. There is also an introduction movie inserted in the APP. An evaluation test was taken place at the end of study and all the tests went well, proving that the usability of the PrEmo is fine, though the clarity still haves some room to be improved.
