Most of the research and development on KANSEI databases are mainly focused on information retrieval systems assuming a specific content and situation. These databases cover the KANSEI for evaluation of contents. In these approaches, KANSEI is regards as correspondence between specified contents and these evaluations by each user. User’s KANSEI shows different features for different situations ...

The objective is to develop a system based on Kansei Engineering to allow preference-based design to be applied to practical product planning and design towards general system goals. Then, in order to execute expert evaluation in this study, we interviewed eleven experts by the EGM to determine the semantic structure of attractiveness from the interviews of experts showing the hierarchy of the ...

We present an extension of Kansei mediated communication in the field of entertainment. We propose to do so by implementing Cultural Computing concept and enriching it with Kansei Mediated Interaction. We present some inspiration for our approach in terms of culture and then discuss them. We relate our work to the Western and to the Eastern world. Thus we use cultural examples from England, Fra...

An approach for affective product design using a hybrid of tunable particle swarm optimization (PSO) and Kansei engineering is proposed. Customers’ emotive responses to a product are collected using a questionnaire designed on Kansei engineering principles. They are used to create models which can suggest design parameters for the product that may implicitly embody customers’ emotional preferen...

In this chapter, at first the authors review the researches on music in Japan Society of Kansei Engineering. Music related researches are classified into 6 categories; Kansei evaluation methodology, music psychological research, physiological measurement, music theoretical research, Kansei music system and recommendation system. Then, the authors present their approaches for research Kansei on ...

To mine users’ perceptual demand for product shape, it is very important to build the relational model between design elements of product shape and users’ Kansei evaluation. We apply Kansei engineering to the shape design of wheeled tractor. The design elements obtained by morphological analysis constitute the input layer, and perceptual semantic evaluation obtained by semantic differential met...

KANSEI is a Japanese term which means psychological feeling or image of a product. KANSEI engineering refers to the translation of consumers' psychological feeling about a product into perceptual design elements. Recently several researches have been done for image indexing or image retrieval based on KANSEI factors. In this paper, we propose a new technique for clothing fabric image retrieval ...

This paper deals with Kansei evaluation focusing on consumers’ psychological needs and personal taste. To do so, a preparatory study is conducted beforehand to obtain Kansei data of the products to be evaluated, in which products are assessed according to Kansei attributes by means of the semantic differential method and linguistic variables. These Kansei data are then used to generate Kansei p...
