Kansei Method

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! The Kansei method is a method that transforms consumer's responses to new products into design specifications. Also known as Kansei engineering this discipline aims at the development or improvement of products and services by translating the customer's psychological feelings and needs into the domain of product design and parameters. As a result, products can be designed to bring forward the intended feeling. Kansei engineering can be considered as a methodology within the research field of 'affective engineering' and can be used as a tool for product development. Three focal points in the kansei method include: Accurately understanding the consumer Reflecting and translating consumer understanding into product design and How to create a system and organization for consumer orientated design This has been another Human Factors Minute!

Nick Roome

Nick is currently a Senior UX Researcher at Turvo in the Pacific Northwest, focused on developing innovative solutions and optimizing human performance for SaaS based supply chain logistics programs. Alongside colleague and friends, Blake Arnsdorff and Barry Kirby, Nick hosts and produces Human Factors Cast, a weekly podcast that investigates the sciences of human factors, psychology, engineering, biomechanics, industrial design, physiology and anthropometry and how it affects our interaction with technology. Nick’s other areas of interest include, but are not limited to virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, systems engineering, and artificially intelligent systems.

Nick Started Human Factors Cast in early 2016 as a side-project. He believed that the way Human Factors concepts were being communicated is broken and saw a way to fix it. After getting initial traction, Nick moved to work on the Human Factors Cast Digital Media Lab and began assembling a multi-disciplinary team to test out new concepts in Human Factors communication.
