Kurzbeschreibung
This set provides readers with the background and history of Kansei Engineering and demonstrates how to use it in each stage. This new ergonomic technology seeks to develop a product based on a consumer emotion. First, the consumer feeling is surveyed by psychological and or psycho-physiological measurement; then, the survey data are analyzed using statistical techniques; finally, the analyzed data are transferred to design domain through engineering and technology. "Innovations of Kansei Engineering" explains this new technique in detail, while "Kansei/Affective Engineering" demonstrates how to apply it using examples of successful applications.
