Virtual Table Setting Show From The Perspective Of KANSEI Interaction

As the transition from factory age to information age, the industrial structure and consumer market structure of China are experiencing a great evolution. In nowadays society, the self-awareness and pursuit of individuality have been emphasized and spread. Therefore, discovery and understanding of the potential needs and shopping motivation of consumers have become the top priority of firms in order to design and develop new products that are able to accord with the physical and psychological habits of consumers; in addition, the accurate product designing criterion and flexible designing rules can be provided to designers; consequently, the existing market can be better targeted and satisfied also the potential market can be extended.In this paper, the KANSEI elements of interactive design will be emphasized and applied to the design of modern dining table. It will firstly demonstrate the actuality and drawbacks of traditional dining table to extend the design principles of modern dining table and propound the philosophy of KANSEI interactive design. Secondly, the concepts and theories of KANSEI interactive design will be adequately analyzed in order to provide a theoretical basis of designing of interactive dining table. The methodology of KANSEI engineering will also be employed in order to implement the quantitative and qualitative data analysis of interactive dinning table design. Finally, the basic design elements of interactive dining table will be concluded and summarized from the data analysis; so that they can be applied to the real case designing of interactive dining table in order to demonstrate the practicability of the concept and theories of KANSEI interactive design that will be discussed in this paper. The concepts of KANSEI interactive design and the practical methodology of KANSEI engineering can be defined as the theoretical and operational guidance of interactive dining table design in order to design and produce the KANSEI-based interactive dining table in the future. The multi-touch screen and the gesture control are two possible technologies that can be applied to the interactive dining table design. Through the multi-touch screen and gesture control function of interactive dining table; the unique dining environment and special dining experiences can be created and offered to people.
