Lemke, M. (author), Rodríguez Ramírez, Edgar (author), Robinson, Brian (author)Stroke causes damage to the brain, often resulting in weakness or paralysis on one side of the body. Everyday objects such as smartphones can play an im-portant role after a stroke facilitating participation in daily activities. However, commercial smartphones can be challenging to use, and people with stroke of-ten adjust their behavior to...conference paper 2022

Huang, S. (author), Carulli, M. (author), Hekkert, P.P.M. (author), Schifferstein, Hendrik N.J. (author), Bordegoni, M (author)Within the scope of Design for Sustainable Behaviour, the connection between behavioural change strategies and design idea generation has received limited attention. This paper highlights metaphorical thinking in product design to stimulate sustainable behaviour. In particular, the current study proposes a metaphor-based design method to guide...conference paper 2020

Schifferstein, H.N.J. (author), Özcan Vieira, E. (author), Rozendaal, M.C. (author)Recent years have shown the introduction of several types of smart products. These products gather data about user behaviour and try to determine an optimal response, in order to make the user’s life easier. However, some smart products also lead to user behaviour that is undesirable. Hence, we would like to introduce a new design paradigm...conference paper 2015

Camere, S. (author), Schifferstein, H.N.J. (author), Bordegoni, M. (author)Product designers may struggle to materialize their initial, abstract idea into tangible sensory features forming a product. Being aware of the role of every sensory modality in conveying a specific experience, they are more likely to come up with original and meaningful solutions. However, it can be challenging to manage an experience-driven,...conference paper 2015

Blijlevens, J. (author), Hekkert, P.P.M. (author)to feel connected to and autonomous from their ‘type of people’ and when product designs do they are aesthetically pleasing. From an evolutionary perspective, product designs provide aesthetic pleasure because they help direct beneficial behavior. We argue that people can fulfill their evolutionary need for safety through product designs that...conference paper 2014

Bin Kassim, A. (author), Horvath, I. (author), Gerritsen, B.H.M. (author)Smart materials have drawn substantial attention and interest in a broad range of applications, due to their unique and superior characteristics. However there is a blurry image over the potential applications of smart materials in consumer durables. This has stalled further research and decision making in initiating the development of consumer...conference paper 2014

Post, R.A.G. (author), Blijlevens, J. (author), Hekkert, P.P.M. (author)The principle of unity-in-variety has recently been shown to affect visual aesthetic appreciation of product designs. We investigated whether this principle can also account for tactile aesthetic appreciation of products. Design students rated nine car keys on unity, variety and aesthetic appreciation through tactile exploration only. Results...conference paper 2014

Bin Kassim, A. (author), Horvath, I. (author), Gerritsen, B.H.M. (author)Shape changing smart materials (SCSM) have a wide range of applications, supporting product functions through material features. Surprisingly, their application in consumer durables such as household appliances is not as expected. This phenomenon could be related to a possible SCSM knowledge gap among designers, or unidentified design...conference paper 2014

Eris, O. (author), van den Eijnden, W. (author), Roling, M. (author)This paper presents a framework for how new product development focused startup firms (NPDSF) handle missing expertise. The dimensions of the framework are: strategies for handling missing expertise, channels used to acquire missing expertise, and a priori awareness, timing and nature of missing expertise. Each dimension was analyzed in the...conference paper 2014

Post, R.A.G. (author), Blijlevens, J. (author), Hekkert, P.P.M. (author)Product designers can use a wide range of design principles to influence the appearance of new product designs. One of these principles, ‘unity-in-variety’, states that product designs combining a maximum of unity or order with as much variety as possible are the most aesthetically pleasing. Even though designers are thought to intuitively use...conference paper 2013

Den Hollander, M.C. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author)Product life extension is an increase in the utilization period of products. Design research on product life extension strategies has so far mainly focused on technical aspects of products, like ‘prevention engineering’ or ‘design for repair, maintenance and upgradability’, and on individual consumer-product relationships, like ‘design for...conference paper 2012

Ortíz Nicolás, J.C. (author), Schoormans, J.P.L. (author), Aurisicchio, M. (author)Durable products are often described by users relying on personality traits, e.g. serious or happy. Understanding the relationships between product attributes and personality traits has the potential to influence product consumption. This article explores the possibility of designing product appearance with predefined personalities. An approach...conference paper 2011

Özcan, E. (author), Van Egmond, R. (author)Consistent product experience requires congruity between product properties such as visual appearance and sound. Therefore, for designing appropriate product sounds by manipulating their spectral-temporal structure, product sounds should preferably not be considered in isolation but as an integral part of the main product concept. Because visual...conference paper 2010

(author)In this paper, we explored the use of low fidelity Synthetic Environments (SE; i.e., a combination of simulation techniques) for product design. We explored the usefulness of low fidelity SE to make design problems explicit. In particular, we were interested in the influence of interactivity on user experience. For this purpose, an industrial...conference paper 2010
