Emotional Animation: A qualitative study about emotional respons by movement in graphical interfacesAs animations in user interfaces become increasingly more common, the animations are often used in an arbitrary fashion, without any knowledge of what kind of effect, in terms of feelings and emotions, the movement have on the user. It’s important that animations in user interfaces are used carefully and thoughtfully as the motions can have negative effects on the user experience if not used wisely. Animations can be used in graphical interfaces with both functional and aesthetic purposes, where the functional animation can be used to facilitate the users cognitive process and decoding of an interface, for instance by creating visual continuity between different stages in the change of an object. The aesthetic aspect of the animation in turn can be used to convey character, emotion and personality through the functional animation, thus bringing forth the feelings the interface aims to emphasize. This study shows that functional animation, by customizing its bezier­ curves, affects the users emotional response to movement. Thus, functional animation can be constructed to match the emotional response a webpage sets out to convey.http://lnu.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?pid=diva2%3A943133&dswid=5166
