Study of the High Heels Shape Characteristics Based on the Kansei Engineering

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to understand consumers emotional intentions and discuss the impact of high heels shape characteristic to human cognitive imagery, this paper, based on Kansei Engineering, combines the collected samples and constructed semantic space to design questionnaire with orthogonal method. With the item weights of shape elements and category utility values from the studied emotional semantic vocabulary, the designers can get the corresponding shape elements of high heels according to the target consumers ideal emotional semantics, and thus this directs the shape design of new product.
