Influencing factors on the balance between usability and emotional design

Developing user-centered products requires a careful balance between usability and emotional design. While usability ensures efficiency and intuitive handling, emotional design shapes user perception and acceptance. But what factors influence this interaction?

The findings provide valuable insights into strategies for optimizing user experience. The results of this study have been published in the Journal of Engineering Design.
