Kansei Quantitative Analysis and its Application to Drum Washing Machine Apperence Design

Abstract:

Kansei Engineering (KE) refers to the translation of consumers' emotional requirements about a product into perceptual design elements. The Kansei Engineering is applied to the drum washing machine aided by a variety of engineering mean.Semantic differential (SD) is applied to extract the kansei tags.Multivariate statistical analysis method is also used for data mining.The data of design elements is processed by principal component analysis (PCA) and SPSS.
