A conclusion chapter covers future research and directions. __Emotions, Technology, and Design__ provides a thorough look at how technology design affects emotions and how to use that understanding to in practical applications. * Discusses the role of culture, trust, and identity in empathetic technology * Presents a framework for using sound to elicit positive emotional responses * Details the emotional use of color in design * Explores the use of emoticons, earcons, and tactons * Addresses the emotional design specific to agent-based environments Content: Front Matter,Copyright,Contributors,Foreword,PrefaceEntitled to full textSection I: Experiments and Theories in Emotions, Technology, and DesignChapter 1 - Emotional Screen: Color and Moving Images in Digital Media, Pages 3-18, Federico Pierotti Chapter 2 - Safe and Sound: Using Audio to Communicate Comfort, Safety, and Familiarity in Digital Media, Pages 19-35, Michael L.
