Experimental designs evaluated user experiences with different aesthetic interactions, indicating emotional impacts.
We explore the role of aesthetic interaction in controlling music playback control and its influence on user experience. Three music playback control designs of different aesthetic interactions were developed and prototyped. An experiment was conducted to measure how their experiences varied regarding aesthetic interaction. Participant responses were then gathered through PrEmo that measured the influence on emotions and user experience, Results indicate how each aesthetic interaction evoked particular emotions and experiences. The aesthetic interaction of music playback control was shown to influence the participants’ appraisal of their music-listening experiences significantly. Findings contribute to a better understanding of how aesthetic interaction in the music listening experience implicates the user’s affective response.
