Smart handheld devices (SHD) have become the mainstream product in the post-PC era.To implement the human-centered concept, this study focused onthe interactive interface of SHD, attempting to identify the relationship between Kansei (affective) images and design elements associated with different sensory channels (i.e.,visual, auditory, and vibratory senses). Thus,in terms of the interaction between users and products, Kansei experiential value sand user experience would be enhanced. First, through Kansei engineering techniques, the authors extracted main design elements related to different sensory channels and Kansei vocabulary. Then, after being stimulated by the experiment samples, the participants subjectively evaluated design elements and Kansei vocabulary in accordance with semantic differential scales, quantifying their relationship. Lastly, applying Quantification Theory Type I, the authors determined the above-mentioned relationship. Our findings include the following: 1) extracting typical Kansei vocabulary and design elements associated with different sensory channels concerning the interactive interface of SHD, 2) establishing the relationship between Kansei images and design elements associated with different sensory channels. This study presents some findings about different sensory channels, design elements as well as Kansei vocabulary. While developing an interactive interface, product designers can be assisted by those findings to quickly grasp its design focus and to bridge the sensational and cognitive gap between designers and users concerning the product. Moreover, designers will appreciate and integrate the design image of the interactive interface more meticulously, eventually enhancing its experiential values offered to users. |
