An Empirical Study on the Impact of Different Interaction Methods on User Emotional Experience in Cultural Digital Design.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Traditional culture plays a vital role in shaping national identity and emotional belonging, making it imperative to explore innovative strategies for its digital preservation and engagement. This study investigates how interaction design in cultural digital games influences users' emotional experiences and cultural understanding. Centering on the Chinese intangible cultural heritage puppet manipulation, we developed an interactive cultural game with three modes: gesture-based interaction via Leap Motion, keyboard control, and passive video viewing. A multimodal evaluation framework was employed, integrating subjective questionnaires with physiological indicators, including Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS), infrared thermography (IRT), and electrodermal activity (EDA), to assess users' emotional responses, immersion, and perception of cultural content. Results demonstrated that gesture-based interaction, which aligns closely with the embodied cultural behavior of puppet manipulation, significantly enhanced users' emotional engagement and cultural comprehension compared to the other two modes. Moreover, fNIRS data revealed broader activation in brain regions associated with emotion regulation and cognitive control during gesture interaction. These findings underscore the importance of culturally congruent interaction design in enhancing user experience and emotional resonance in digital cultural applications. This study provides empirical evidence supporting the integration of cultural context into interaction strategies, offering valuable insights for the development of emotionally immersive systems for intangible cultural heritage preservation.
