User-Centered Design of a Smart Refrigerator Integrating Kansei Engineering Principles

Today's world, smart devices are most common with all the people.Smart devices are electronic gadgets or machines that have the ability to interact, connect, and share information with other smart devices.They have become an integral part of our daily lives, and their use has increased significantly over the years.This paper describes the creation of a smart refrigerator that uses Kansei Engineering method to improve the user experience by considering the psychological and emotional aspects of design.Potential users' Kansei words were gathered to find out how those words made them feel.These feelings were then studied statistically to find links with technical aspects like color, size, style, and usefulness.The findings revealed that users prefer smart refrigerators with a silver color, two-door design, and 275-liter capacity.The study provides a useful way to consider how to build smart refrigerators, especially so that they consider people's feelings and tastes.By meeting emotional needs, these kinds of methods can improve daily life and help people feel closer to their devices, leading to more people accepting and using smart home technologies.This study provides important information to the field of usercentred design.It shows how Kansei Engineering can improve products and make devices easier for people to understand and use.

Abstract

Today's world, smart devices are most common with all the people.Smart devices are electronic gadgets or machines that have the ability to interact, connect, and share information with other smart devices.They have become an integral part of our daily lives, and their use has increased significantly over the years.This paper describes the creation of a smart refrigerator that uses Kansei Engineering method to improve the user experience by considering the psychological and emotional aspects of design.Potential users' Kansei words were gathered to find out how those words made them feel.These feelings were then studied statistically to find links with technical aspects like color, size, style, and usefulness.The findings revealed that users prefer smart refrigerators with a silver color, two-door design, and 275-liter capacity.The study provides a useful way to consider how to build smart refrigerators, especially so that they consider people's feelings and tastes.By meeting emotional needs, these kinds of methods can improve daily life and help people feel closer to their devices, leading to more people accepting and using smart home technologies.This study provides important information to the field of usercentred design.It shows how Kansei Engineering can improve products and make devices easier for people to understand and use.
