This project aims to develop new approaches to integrate emotional design into software engineering. Modern technologies can positively transform lives. Many good concepts fail, however, to have a transformative effect by not meeting the emotional needs of intended users. Creating software applications that satisfy needs such as ‘feeling in touch’ or ‘feeling accepted’ is difficult, due to the hard-to-define, personal and subtle nature of these needs. The project aims to support the development of software that better meets emotional needs by focusing on people, their life context and technology adoption, in concert with existing methods for expressing functionality. The project plans to evaluate applications in two areas: assistance for homeless people, and financial literacy among older people.

该项目旨在开发将情感设计融入软件工程的新方法。现代技术可以积极地改变生活。然而，许多好的概念由于不能满足预期用户的情感需求而未能产生变革性的效果。由于这些需求的难以定义、个人化和微妙的性质，创建满足诸如“感觉接触”或“感觉被接受”等需求的软件应用程序是困难的。该项目旨在支持开发更好地满足情感需求的软件，重点关注人，他们的生活环境和技术采用，与现有的表达功能的方法相一致。该项目计划评估两个领域的应用：对无家可归者的援助和老年人的金融知识。
