This paper is concerned with human meal preference. For evaluating human meal Kansei (Kansei means human feelings in Japanese.) a method has been proposed to give the scales for human meal feelings as subjective characteristics of food in which the units of the scales are the standard deviations of the standard normal distribution. Here in addition to the method to evaluate human meal feelings ...

This research, conducted for Frito Lay-North America, Inc, demonstrates how new product designs, package designs, concepts, and prototypes can be created based on the social, emotional, cognitive, and sensory information gathered through a combined methodology based on activity theory, Kansei Engineering and the ZMET process. The study examines how activity theory can be used to observe situati...

The delight design platform (DDP) is a vision of a new integrated design environment that would enable design engineers to consistently design delightful products. Such delightful products satisfy an attractive quality as well as the performance and must-have qualities of the Kano model. The attractive quality depends on a customer’s subjective evaluation involving emotion. To implement DDP, we...

Human Kansei is very complicated and it is not easy to evaluate it. Methods of paired comparison might be useful for evaluating human Kansei because it is generally said that human Kansei is nonlinear while methods of paired comparison are considered to be able to deal with nonlinear problems. In paired comparison it is important to confirm consistency of answers of each subject because if a su...

(1) Objective: This paper conducts a comparative study on the perceptual value of fabrics dyed with tea leaves and stems explores changes differences in Kansei image to provide practical guidance for product design based experimental results. (2) Methods: firstly, an effective dyeing method was selected through literature research dye samples. Secondly, words were collected screened out, SD sca...

Evaluation is the systematic determination of the value, merit, worth, and significance of something or someone. In the design field, an evaluating method is no less important han a design methodology, because an effective evaluation is useful for both the best design and the expression of feeling by a user. The aim of this study is to examine the adaptability of an evaluation method using the ...
