The Affective Product Design (AF) Track is accepting submissions for the AF Track at the IEA 2009 Congress in Beijing, China. This track encourages symposia, panels, and demonstrations that address affective/emotional design and evaluation of products. The content could include laboratory, field and case studies, conceptual models, and demonstrations. Relevant topics include novel methods for measurement of affect, cross-cultural and usability issues in affective design, development of affective design standards. Symposia with papers that combine Affective Design methods with particular domain areas (e.g. healthcare, transportation, building and construction) are especially welcomed. We are also interested in demonstrations of new products/tools/software/methods that address affective issues for young and elderly users.

This track is also soliciting reviewers for the proposals in November 2008. If you are an APD member and you wish to help with the review, or you have any other questions, please contact me at martin@ntu.edu.sg
