A requirement-scenario-experience framework for evaluating wearable and fashionable design: Presenting underlying factors of user loss

摘要

Owing to the inevitable trend of intellectualization and digitalization, wearable and fashionable products are popular as a new product form in the past five years. Nevertheless, these kind of smart products are not widely and continuously used in daily life. This paper analysed the design intention and cognitive interpretation form of wearable and fashionable design and reveals the connection among user motivation, behaviour and perceived value in using smart products. Then we propose an evaluation framework for a better understanding of the attributes, 5 impact factors of wearable and fashionable design using a three-dimensional impact matrix approach. The framework is applied to the evaluation of two pairs of wearable and fashionable products by five designers and proved to be effective for designers to evaluate the risk of smart and fashionable design to put on the market. We expect the framework can be used as basic design knowledge of design evaluation in the realm of wearable and fashionable product design.
