Abstract
This research focuses on the study of the Eco-Visualization Interface for water resource, and explores the different design elements and approaches that affect the user’s emotional valence and arousal of eco-visualization interface. Respondents were invited to view the interactive interfaces with 6 different ways to show the volume of consumed water in a certain setting. The surveys were also incorporated with the scales of Self-Assessment Manikin (SAM) and the Questionnaires for User Interaction Satisfaction (QUIS). As statistical results indicated, the interfaces with the best performance were separately those of tropical fish and water droplets with a good conformity with typical design principles. The interfaces with emotional animation brought with positive responses. However, what was noteworthy was a fact that some respondents contended more water would be consumed whenever the interfaces were displayed. Such a response deviated from our original expectation.
