Explorations on interactive interfaces using cuteness

The experience of interactive systems can be a rather complex set of events. The perceptions appeal to the user's senses including visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory. Taken from a human factors approach, the sensitivity of the senses can be measured very closely and units of measurement arise from the "just noticeable difference." These differences can be mapped to the physics behind the stimuli and computer controlled systems very accurately provide sensation to the user through various user interfaces. The human mind also plays an important role in making sense of the experience not only from a physiological standpoint, but from a psychological and cultural reference poin…
