Traditional intelligent product design usually focuses on functional design, aiming to generate appropriate structures that would provide required functions. Design specifications are mainly formulized into technical descriptions or values that are related to certain functional or usability requirements. In today’s global market, to in-crease user satisfaction, the appearance design of a product become vital for users to make purchasing decisions. This is particularly true of today’s consumer products such as mobile phones, digital cameras, and other electronic products. In intelligent product appearance design, design specifications are merely described as basic geometric dimensions and types of surface materials. Additionally, the aesthetic considerations and emotional needs of product appearance are seldom discussed when establishing design specifications for product appearance design. In this regard, the objective of this study is to propose a design specification representation framework for intelligent product appearance design considering both emotional and aesthetic aspects. The framework be-gins to investigate user needs by acquiring user aesthetic experience. Based on the notion of aesthetic experience, a detailed representation model of appearance design specifications is provided for satisfying user emotional and aesthetic needs. Finally, a case study of the appearance design of digital cameras is provided to demonstrate the acquisition of user needs and establishment of design specifications based on the proposed framework.

After completing the market positioning of products, catering for the functional and emotional needs of consumers is the key to achieve the success of product design. In the present study, the psychological theory is employed to screen the subjects and quantitatively evaluate the alternative design schemes to ensure the optimal design scheme. Then, an evaluation method of product appearance design based on eye tracking and aesthetic perception measurement is obtained. With the design of campus street lamp as an example, this paper evaluates the appearance design of products using emotional measurement and eye tracking technology. IAPS is used to screen out the participants who can represent the emotions and aesthetic experience of the public. Subsequently, the index system of aesthetic evaluation is established according to aesthetic theory, and the transformation relationship between aesthetic evaluation index and physiological eye movement index is determined. Finally, the eye tracking technology is used to evaluate the aesthetic feeling of each alternative, and the best design schemes are obtained. This study aims to explore a simple, practical, and low-cost product design evaluation method. As a hotspot in the research field of product design methodology, emotional design has broad prospects for application. Moreover, this paper also proposes a new direction for the development of emotional design research, which is based on quantitative analysis with the supplement of qualitative analysis.

Abstract Augmented reality based on projection, called “Spatial Augmented Reality (SAR)”, is a new technology that can produce immersive contents by overlapping virtuality and real-world environment. It has been paid attention as the next generation digital contents in media art and human–computer interaction (HCI). In this paper, we present a new methodology to evaluate the product appearance design more intuitively by means of SAR technique. The proposed method first projects the high-quality rendered image considering the optical property of materials onto the mock-up of a product. We also conduct a projector-camera calibration to compensate a color distortion according to a projector, a projection surface and environment lighting. The design evaluation methodology we propose offers more flexible and intuitive evaluation environment to a designer and user (evaluator) than previous methods that are performed via a digital display. At the end of this research, we have conducted a case study for designing and evaluating appearance design of an automobile.

In the appearance design of a product, the designer should combine his/her creative thinking with the industrial design approaches and skills to carry out the creative design from the aspects of product’s shape, color and texture, etc. However, from the viewpoint of the brand, a company or a product should have its own unique style of appearance. How to balance the creativity of designer and the original style is often a contradiction in product design. Based on this consideration, this paper presented a concept of Inheriting Degree (ID) in product appearance design. The visual characteristics of the product appearance were analyzed first and the hierarchical system for ID in product appearance design was established. The idiographic indexes of ID were given for a product’s appearance in shapes, colors and textures, respectively. By introducing set theory, the mathematical models were established and calculation formulae for each kind of ID were proposed. The results of this paper would provide a theoretical foundation for designer to generate design concepts in brand products. It also would provide a guideline for the development of computer aided design and evaluation system for the appearance design of brand products.
