Abstract
The need to include customer’s affective needs in product design presents a new direction beyond tradtional human factors and ergonomics. While the human-product interactions have been extensively studied, the interactions of these elements with the ambience have been largely ignored. This gives rise to a nascent research perspective called affective human factors design, which aims at addressing human’s emotional responses and aspirations and to achieve aesthetic appreciation and pleasurable experience through human-product-ambience interactions. This paper presents a framework of affective human factors design with ambient intelligence to achieve the extensive interactions among these elements. Ambient intelligence establishes a multidisciplinary technology core that incorporates affective design, human factors and ergonomics, product development, and specific application sectors. A few application scenarios reveal the most important characteristics and emerging trends in this research area.
