Based on the Sensory Experience Design project of GAC R&D Center, this study further reports on the process and results of a workshop based on this framework, exploring the variability in designers’ understanding of emotional mobility in different temporal contexts. It aims to understand how designers abstract sensory information, disconnect deep personal emotions from the senses and encapsulate them in an emotional mobility design.

We developed a framework for sensory reflection, a designer’s approach to creating unique experiences. However, the current emotional design theory lacks attention to the collateral effects. There is a distinction between long-term and short-term emotional goals in mobility experience.

Designers are using the human senses as part of the form and experience of engaging in emotional mobility.
