Abstract(s)
Automated testing and evaluation of interfaces is a well-established reality supported by many tools that shorten the time to deploy new software versions to the user. However, exploring users’ emotions while interacting with interfaces as a tool to further increase the quality of traditional usability evaluation methods is still far from being a reality. This work uses the automatic analysis of users’ emotions while interacting with touchable interactive urban devices to detect usability issues. To this end, a coupled approach is implemented: the data is acquired from the interaction, and user emotions are extracted and processed to determine the emotional status during the interaction. This data is integrated into a web application so that designers can further improve the quality of the interface in the presence of negative emotions. Results show that the experimental tests showed that different users manifest similar negative emotions in the same contexts, which is a clear sign of usability issues that are to be corrected by the design team.
