It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them.

Sammels, Jean Maurice (2011): Digital focus points for emotional immersion in emergency training. In: Proceedings of the 2011 Annual European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics 2011. pp. 257-258.

Motivation -- To improve the emotional immersion of digital training for emergency services. Research approach -- At first a literature study was done. Exploring the current state of the scientific field on emotion, learning and gaming. Followed by explorative interviews. In which 9 emergency professionals were asked about emotion in serious games and emergency service training exercises. Findings/Design -- The results suggest that emotion has become a greater part in emergency training. Emotion has no scientific definition. Still scientists recognize its ability to influence behavior. Emotion as we know it is actually an emotion episode. A collection of smaller emotion processes. These processes work on input of the senses. To create digital training with emotion the digital impulses given should mimic reality as much as possible. Research limitations/Implications -- only 9 emergency professionals have been interviewed, resulting in a possibly incorrect generalization of information. Originality/Value -- The research makes a contribution to increasing the human computer interaction for digital training exercises of emergency professionals. Take away message -- Nowadays emotion is a must in the training of emergency professionals, to do digital training with emotion the training should provide realistic visual and aural impulses.
