Impact of Perception Theories on Kansei Design

Abstract

This paper is an adaptation of the one published at KEER14. Despite the relative youth of kansei design as a discipline, compared to kansei engineering, different approaches can already be pointed out. Non-surprisingly, similar differences seem to be observed in the field of tangible interaction design as well. This similarity seems to be due to the materiality these approaches focus on, and the way they consider how the artifacts and the humans relate.
