- The fundamental first stage of product interaction is through sensory perception, which generates cognitive and affective experiences. Product perception through sensory feedback is a major component in the end user product appraisal that precedes the elicitation of product emotion. Sensory evaluation is connected to a set of concepts including appraisal, concern and goal oriented objective. The interplay between stimulus (in this case from sensory feedback) and product concern, which forms the basis for product appraisal, is key to understanding how design effort can affect the end user's product perception. This research investigates the contribution that sensory information can make to the design process using a technique, Experience Continuum Sampling to explore the connection between sensory perception, appraisal and concern due to product interaction. This approach provides specific information related to product features experienced through sensory stimuli. The designer can weight sensory information and direct activity to optimise product design.

- This chapter outlines an innovative and collaborative design research project that connects New Zealand SME manufacturers with advanced design thinking about affective design. This project was developed and implemented by the centre for affective design research (Affect) at Massey University. Design researchers and five NZ companies have collaborated to foster ‘design-for-desirability’ thinking and develop capabilities by means of knowledge sharing, enterprise training and individualised projects. This created visionary product concepts utilizing the perceptual product experience framework (Warell, 2008). The chapter provides a novel model for collaboration between industry and academia that focuses on implementing ‘design-for-desirability’ thinking in SME companies with the aim of improving their international competitiveness. Well-designed, functional products are expected in today’s competitive global markets. Gaining success in global markets requires a step beyond this level of usability in order to develop products that are desirable and appeal to the users on emotional, social and intuitive levels.

Design for Desirability: An Innovation-Focused Research Collaboration between Academia and Industry

- This paper outlines an innovation-focused design research collaboration that connects New Zealand design and manufacturing industry with advanced design thinking about design for desirability, a research area pursued at AFFECT - the Centre for Affective Design Research at Massey University in Wellington (NZ). Nowadays, it’s all about offering products that are desirable; products need to appeal to their users on emotional, social and intuitive levels. Functionand usability are still important issues of product design, but unless the product is instantly and as well as continuously appealing, chances for success are slim. Academic design researchers and five New Zealand companies have collaborated in a governmentally funded “Growth Innovation Pilot Initiative” scheme, that aims to foster design for desirability thinking and capabilities by means of knowledge sharing and enterprise training in the form of design projects and workshops.Within this collaboration, Master of Design (MDes) projects were conducted that created visionary product concepts for animal farm management and radio communication utilizing the perceptual product experience framework [1]. This paper describes the process of this project, highlightin the initial interviews with the companies, the collaborative knowledge sharing and enterprise training workshops, and the two MDes projects that aimed to foster and advance design for desirability thinking together with the companies. The described project provides a novel collaborative model between industry and academia that challenges advanced thinking and implementation of design for desirability in small- and medium-sized (SME) companies with the aim of improving international competitiveness of their products. Such companies often lack theknowledge and resources to devise strategies and adopt operational ways of working with desirability focussed design conceptualisation programmes that require a holistic understanding of the users, which can be provided through academic design research collaborations.
