In this paper, we propose a Kansei-oriented system dedicated to image retrieval. By "Kansei"-oriented, it is understood that the user is at the center of a system sensitive to and actively using his/her cognitive abilities as well as his/her sensitivity. The definition of this sensitivity is very difficult to elicit even for the user him/herself and therefore should emerge from his/her interact...

This study investigated the relationship between a subject’s evaluation of injection molding machines (IMMs) and formal design features using Kansei engineering. This investigation used 12 word pairs to evaluate the IMM configurations and employed the semantic differential method to explore the perception of 60 interviewees of 12 examples. The relationship between product feature design and cor...

Good visual design provides high quality and also it is appropriate and relevant for the audience and the message it is supporting. Many computer-based Educational programmes are designed with more consideration on their functionality, where as very little consideration is given to the aesthetic needs of the users. Quality of a product cannot be determined solely by its functional aspects, it i...

The main current evolutions in industrial design research are the following : 1 The computerization of the early design phases 2 Consumer and user centered design with in particular emotional design 3 The concurrent engineering, with collaborative work supporting tools Our goal is to modelize the preliminary phases of traditional industrial design process, in order to build new computer aided d...
