Exploring the Integration of Emotion and Technology to Create Product Value—A Case Study on QisDesign Lighting

Abstract

The Strategic Roadmap 2025 released by Lighting Europe described the key focuses in three development stages for the lighting market over the next 10 years. During the first stage, the focus of development lies in technology—specifically, in the application and popularization of high-efficiency LED light sources. At the second stage, manufacturers advance to the smart lighting control system, thereby achieving sustainable development through energy saving and environmental designs. At the third stage, the strategic focus lies in the mental aspect, the intention of which is to develop human-oriented lighting designs. Accordingly, well-being and health can be promoted through improvement of lighting quality. These three stages of strategy will provide new momentum for the growth of the lighting market and improve people’s quality of life. This study adopted a literature review, expert discussion, and survey analysis to identify human-oriented luminary design factors that integrate sensitivity and technology, with the aim of integrating Taiwan’s lighting technology with consumers’ emotional need and introducing emotional value in products.
