In the early days of e-Commerce, web designers follow their intuition of how the website should look like. Further development of web design have seen for instance Nielsen’s heuristic, which resulted designers to focus mainly on cognitive functionality and usability. However, as technology advances and e-Commerce matures, there is a growing concern to improve the consumer interface of e-Commerc...

This paper surveys recent research activities on three major areas of digital media information base, namely, video database systems as a typical example of temporal application, database systems for mixed reality as an instance of spatial application, and kansei management for digital media retrieval as a case of humanistic feelings application. Current research results by the project Advanced...

The aesthetic aspects of products have become crucial factors in achieving higher consumer satisfaction. This study deals with evaluation of commercial products according to the Kansei, which is an individual subjective impression reflecting the aesthetic appeal of products. To do so, we have proposed a three-phase group nonadditive multiattribute Kansei evaluation model. Particularly, a novel ...

The aim of this study is to examine the adaptability of an evaluation method using the visual images to evaluate the impression of a product design based on Kansei. It was compared the impression that user group received from the designed product by a designer with the visual images that a designer assumed motifs for design work, and identified the effectiveness of the design evaluation using t...

This study proposes a model which shows the importance of Kansei Engineering (KE) methodology in supporting design robust services. The KE is enhanced by Kansei-based mining process, SERVQUAL, and Kano categorization order to conceptualize service development. Due complexity contextual based, words as emotion representative are usually formed fuzzy abstract terms. It may lead ambiguous unclear ...

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 ...

Kansei design methods are successful in the Japanese industry and academic worlds. Outside Japan, their level of development and recognition is nothing compared with the situation inside of Japan. One of the reasons is that there is currently no comprehensive description of Kansei and Kansei studies written for the international community. This paper intends to provide such description, to anal...

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 ...
