Knowledge Base Repository

In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters.

Abstract:
We present an experiment investigating concepts of affective state and workload in a large ship manoeuvring context. It is run on a consumer ship simulator software where student participants (N=31) perform two ecologically valid scenarios: sailing on open sea and in a harbour. Results from surveys show highly significant changes in terms of both affect and workload between the scenarios. Thus, one should consider varying affects and workloads from users in varying contexts, consequently demanding new design paradigms for product development, such as dynamically adaptive interfaces.
