An Interactive System Based on Kansei Engineering to Support Clothing Design Process

摘要

Kansei Engineering was regarded as a technology to "translate a customer's feeling of the product to the design elements." In this study an interactive system was constructed on the base of Kansei Engineering to support clothing design process. As a core content and foundation, knowledge base is developed by varied methods such as Kansei engineering method and analytic hierarchy process. When the Kansei word is input, the image can be characterized and formalized by requirement process. The clothing in the proper fuzzy set can be selected and recommended. The designer can make evaluation and ranking and then input the results into the clothing recommendation model. In the end, an interactive system for men's suit was used as a case study to show the application.
