A User-Centered Framework for Smart Glasses Design: Integrating KANO–AHP–FCE and AIGC for Applied Wearable Interface Design

This study addresses the design challenges of daily-use smart glasses by proposing a user-centered design and evaluation framework that integrates the KANO model, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation (FCE), and Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC)-assisted concept generation. User requirements were identified through interviews with 20 participants and user journey map analysis, classified using a KANO questionnaire survey with 309 valid responses, weighted through AHP, and used to guide AI-assisted visual generation based on Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) fine-tuning and a ComfyUI workflow. The results show that Functionality and Performance had the highest criterion weight, while multi-scenario mode switching, misoperation recovery, and lightweight structural design were identified as the most critical design attributes. Three design schemes, including a commercial reference product, a conventional 3D-rendered non-AIGC concept, and the proposed AIGC-assisted scheme, were evaluated using FCE. The AIGC-assisted scheme achieved the highest comprehensive score. The study demonstrates that combining quantitative requirement modeling with generative design can support a systematic workflow from user demand identification to design scheme evaluation. The proposed framework provides a practical reference for smart wearable product design and may also inform wearable interface applications in digital cultural heritage and museum interpretation contexts.

Abstract

This study addresses the design challenges of daily-use smart glasses by proposing a user-centered design and evaluation framework that integrates the KANO model, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation (FCE), and Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC)-assisted concept generation. User requirements were identified through interviews with 20 participants and user journey map analysis, classified using a KANO questionnaire survey with 309 valid responses, weighted through AHP, and used to guide AI-assisted visual generation based on Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) fine-tuning and a ComfyUI workflow. The results show that Functionality and Performance had the highest criterion weight, while multi-scenario mode switching, misoperation recovery, and lightweight structural design were identified as the most critical design attributes. Three design schemes, including a commercial reference product, a conventional 3D-rendered non-AIGC concept, and the proposed AIGC-assisted scheme, were evaluated using FCE. The AIGC-assisted scheme achieved the highest comprehensive score. The study demonstrates that combining quantitative requirement modeling with generative design can support a systematic workflow from user demand identification to design scheme evaluation. The proposed framework provides a practical reference for smart wearable product design and may also inform wearable interface applications in digital cultural heritage and museum interpretation contexts.
