Emotions have been described as complex organized states and some
Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) have been developed based on them. TUIs
using some kind of physical interfaces called Phidgets, have included a strong
emphasis on touch and physicality as well as on exploiting the meaning and
cultural usage associated with everyday physical objects. However, there is a
gap between emotions and knowledge management. This paper presents a
detailed analysis to show how this relationship is developed in several cultures,
trying to find a common understanding to relate them. From a cognitive point of
view, some image schemas have been established and extended using
metaphors. As a result it is possible to relate schemas that come from
perception to abstract schemas. For instance, several physical properties as
position in a frame or curve shape properties used in aesthetics designs can be
associated to some kind of emotions as ‘joy for speed’. Cultural profiles are the
missing element to formalize it because emotion expression can be different in
every culture; moreover scientific knowledge and emotions come together in
the same representation in some cultures. As conclusion, a research line is
exposed for integrating knowledge management in TUIs, and in this paper a
previous prototype has been developed.
