Human Factors Considerations In Human-Webpad Interaction – A Discussion On Color Application, C-H. Chen, Y-T. Chen, B-C. Chiou

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The purpose of this study is to explore the role of color in human-Webpad interaction based on a model of human factors. Color is a prominent and prevailing visual stimulus encountered by humans daily. It affects how humans process information perceptually and cognitively. Four important design issues pertaining to the model of human factors, i.e., issues concerning humans, Webpad technology, user interface, and environment, are discussed in this paper. The authors hope that this discussion can be utilized to improve the applications of color in Webpad user interface design and, at the same time, point us towards the right direction …

Design Behaviours: The Innovation Advantage - The Multi-Faceted Role Of Design In Innovation, R. Cooper, A. Wootton, D. Hands, M. Economidou, M. Bruce, L. Daly, R. Harun

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Design is a ‘good thing.’ “Use it well,” companies are often told, and you will reap the many rewards. But how exactly is design ‘used’ by the commercial organisation during NPD? As a complex activity that deals with at least as many intangible as tangible factors, how can design be constrained by any business process? And if businesses should adapt to gain more value from designers, in what ways should they change? Based on the results of Design Drivers, a three-year EPSRC-funded investigation, these are some of the questions that this paper seeks to answer. Examining the way in which …

Contract Research In Design, A. Crabbe

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The present paper reconsiders some of the activities that properly constitute design research, by focusing on case studies of contract research carried out by the Design Contract Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University. A review of recent UK papers seeking to define the nature of design research suggests that a consensus is still some way off. Contract research, which is a professional research service undertaken for commissioning clients, poses further questions again, since a commercial service may amount to little more than jobbing work. The aims of this paper are to identify the characteristics of contract research in design through …

Theory Construction In Design Research. Criteria, Approaches, And Methods., K. Friedman

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Design involves creating something new or transforming a less desirable situation to a preferred situation. To do this, designers must know how things work and why. Understanding how things work and why requires explanation, and it sometimes requires prediction. To explain and predict, we must construct and test theories. Theories are propositions or sets of propositions that allow us to analyze or explain subjects. Some theories are complex and sophisticated. Others are simple. Theory can be described in many ways. In its most basic form, a theory is a model. It is an illustration describing how something works by showing …

An Innovative Approach To The Aesthetic Design, F. Giannini, M. Monti

DRS Biennial Conference Series

As the aesthetic aspect of a product is becoming more and more important in customers' decisions, there is an increasing need of tools able to express and preserve the styling intent during the product development cycle, while offering an interaction with the user much more adherent to his mentality. The European Project FIORES-II (Character Preservation and Modelling in Aesthetic and Engineering Design) is aimed at creating innovative CAD tools capable to capture and preserve the product aesthetic character and make it accessible in a multi criteria approach for styling and engineering design optimisation. In order to explore the possible relationships …
