[2020.02] The Role of Aesthetic Interaction in Sound Experience

In this paper, I examined how Aesthetic Interaction, which plays an important role in HCI, affects the
evaluation of human emotion and product image when applied to products that provide an auditory
experience. For this, I used a Research through Design approach and built a prototype with three elements of
“Aesthetic Interaction”. This could be measured through a self-emotion report, 29SD. The Friedman test also
showed statistically significant results. These results suggest that in designing products that can provide an
auditory experience, we can apply aesthetic interaction to the emotions and images that designers
intentionally project.
