Explaining the Design & Styling of Future Products
نویسندگان
چکیده
In many industries technological innovation is the most important driver of competitive success. Within our master curriculum Industrial Design Engineering, we therefore implemented a course that is dedicated to the development of innovative technology. This course, called “Sources of Innovation”, provides insight in innovation processes regarding emerging technologies. One of the methods provided is Innovative Design & Styling. The shaping of innovative products is complicated, because the intended new objects have no real ‘predecessor’ in their existence. On the other hand, design and styling have a major influence on the perception and acceptance of such innovative product concepts. To support the complex process, a special workshop was developed, based on three principles supporting this task: the communication function of design, the balance between novelty and typicality (aka. the MAYA principle: most advanced, yet acceptable), and the proper application of metaphors.

The Design and Styling of Technology-based Innovations
This paper addresses the design and styling of future products that are based on innovative technologies. So how should a future electric personal mobility device look like? Or how will an electric vehicle charging station look and work with integrated photovoltaic solar cells? In general we wonder how we can create such designs that people are willing to incorporate new technologies in their d...

متن کاملModeling Hair Influenced by Water and Styling Products
We present novel methods for capturing the key characteristics of hair influenced by water and styling products. Our approach includes a dynamics system that adaptively accounts for changing stiffness and weight of the hair, a geometric representation that can alter the physical depiction of hair based on the substance(s) present on it, and a rendering approach to account for the varying appear...
متن کاملBus-Styling Appraisement Research Using Extension Theory-Based on Artificial Neural Network
Automotive body styling appraisement is very important for body styling design. Because there is not tangible standard at the structure ascertaining of artificial neural network(ANN) and improvement of stability is needed for ANN inside black box characteristic, a bus-styling appraisement method using extension theory-based artificial neural network is presented. The key techniques of quasi-thr...
