Abstract

This paper proposes a three-layer model designed to enhance human–computer interaction (HCI) through the systematic application of artistic thinking. The model comprises an Emotional Goal Layer, an Artistic Structure Translation Layer, and a Technical Implementation Layer. The Emotional Goal Layer captures and formalizes design intentions by converting subjective affective concepts into multidimensional vectors via natural language processing and emotion‐vector mapping. The Artistic Structure Translation Layer aligns these vectors with an art style ontology and employs conditional variational autoencoders, generative adversarial networks, and multi‐objective optimization to produce structured design parameters, such as color harmony, spatial composition, and interaction rhythm. The Technical Implementation Layer then operationalizes these parameters by generating design tokens, component architectures, and AI assisted code scaffolds for rapid deployment across platforms. A theoretical siulation of a meditation app scenario demonstrates how calmness and naturalness goals can be translated into pastel palettes, slow animations, and modular interface components. Although empirical validation remains future work, this conceptual framework bridges the gap between intuitive creativity and engineering execution, offering a novel pathway for embedding emotional resonance into digital experiences and fostering deeper user engagement.
