Consumer satisfaction and feelings with form play an essential role in determining the success of a product. However, contemporary industrial design processes typically employ designer driven, intuitive methods for generating and evaluating form concepts. This paper describes the implementation process of web based design support system that helps assess customer's feelings or sensibilities of forms created in each stages of design process. The present web based approach provides designers with fast and various feedbacks about their design in each stage by using assessment with object VR and web 3D as well as ordinary 2D images. Practical application for exterior design of electric vehicle was illustrated and the further refinement of the design support system was discussed.

Two experiments were conducted to examine the relationships between the color structure and the user preference of a CNS (Car Navigation System) digital map in terms of HSE (Human Sensibility Ergonomics). In the first experiment, the user's preference of color structures were investigated from the subjects' self-designed digital maps using a CNS digital map UIMS (User Interface Management System): in the second, statistical relation models between the user's color structure satisfaction level and the color components of CIE (Commission Internationale de ι'Eclairage) of the real products were suggested. For each experiment, CIE L*u*v* and CIE LCH color space were adapted, respectively, because they have their own characteristics of perceptual uniformity which enables the color components to transform a linear function.

When grasping a movable object or making an object move, humans feel kinesthetic sense. The kinesthetic sense is the human sense that the human feels in response to the motion acted on him. The objective of the paper is to transform the kinesthetic sense associated with the human arm into the quantified data that are useful from the engineering viewpoint. A 2-dimensional motion generator composed of two linear motors was developed to provide various motion patterns. It can change its stiffness and damping values on the real-time basis by properly regulating the force generated by the linear motors. Based on Taguchi method, the most dominant factors to affect the kinesthetic sense were investigated. Also, a reference function adequate to quantify the kinesthetic sense was found. Based on this function, the effects of changes in stiffness and damping on the kinesthetic sense were investigated. Various tests show that the damping is a more dominant factor than the stiffness in forming the kinesthetic sense.

Recently. there are demanding a better sidewalk environment considering side of psychic as well as physical factors as the rapid growth of cities and improvement of traffic consciousness. Also. it needs to give a better sidewalk environment because those pedestrians evade a sidewalk space with minimum Physical design standards. So. we think very important that get a grip what makes Pedestrian feel a comfort and amenity in sidewalk above all. In this study, we carried out a cognition experiment of sidewalk environment on considering the human's psychic with Sensibility Ergonomics and the survey method using SD (Semantic Differential) scale. And we made a recognition evaluation model of sidewalk landscape and sensibility recognition model of sidewalk design factors using LISREL model that analysis sensibility recognition of sensibility adjective by SD scale. In results, we found out a possibility of the design with comfort and amenity in sidewalk environment as considering Sensibility Ergonomics, and an importance of harmonious green environment as a roadside tree etc. above all.

EEG(electroencephalogram) is characterized with auditory emotion in this study. Twenty university students participated in this study. The auditory stimulus was the natural sounds such as creek sound, clash, machining noise, and etc. They can cause the positive and negative emotion. EEG characteristics according to positive and negative auditory stimuli is tried to observe statistic difference. The significant difference is shown depending on the localized area. The auditory paraameters of EEG variation is examined for defining human emotion qualitatively. The results shows that the alpha and the beta at temproal area may be thd determinat of human auditory emotion.

The one of the most important factors is the platoon design on developing AH3(Advanced Highway System), as it is related to traffic efficiency and drivers' safety. This study was evaluated that how much speed is comfortable for drivers and how long distance is appropriate for vehicular gap of platoon by measuring drivers' physiology signal and sensibility. A fixed-based AHS simulator was developed by using a real vehicle cockpit and the restructured part of Korean highway for human factors evaluation. The EEG(electroencephalogram), ECG (electrocardiogram) and GSR(Galvanic Skin Response) were measured for obtaining drivers' physiology signal according to the change of speed and gap. The brain wave(${\alpha},\;{\beta},\;{\delta},\;{\theta}$) by EEG, the response of the autonomic nervous system. the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, by ECG, and relax-arousal situation by GSR were analyzed. The SD(Semantic Differential) method was also applied to evaluate drivers' sensibility by 5-grade evaluation scale with 96 adjectives. SSQ(Simulator Sickness Questionnaire) was used to measure the simulator sickness of pre and post driving, two times. As the results, drivers were comfortable with 120km/h speed of platoon and lam to 15m vehicular distance. The results of this study may differ from the adaption of the reality because of many parameters. However, the purpose of this study is show to significant results of the drivers' safety and the acceptability of human factors evaluation.

감성공학이 G7과제의 하나로 시작되면서 다양한 감성평가 실험들이 수행되어 수많은 실험데이터가 생성되었지만, 효율적인 관리체계의 부재로 인해 많은 노력과 비용이 투자된 가치있는 감성평가 데이터가 자료의 공유 및 활용이라는 측면에서 여러 가지 문제점을 내포하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 주거ㆍ사무환경에서 인간의 감성을 지표화하는 6개 분야의 감성기반기술개발 연구과제에서 생성된 피험자의 생리신호 및 주관적 감성평가 데이터를 통합 관리할 수 있는 종합적인 감성정보관리시스템을 설계하였다. 이 정보 시스템은 사용자에게 정교한 GUI와 높은 대화성(interaction)을 제공하기 위해 2계층 클라이언트/서버 구조로 설계하였다.

감성정보관리시스템은 주거ㆍ사무환경에 속한 6개 분야의 연구과제에서 생성된 피험자의 생리신호와 주관적 감성평가 데이터를 통합 관리하는 시스템이다. 본 논문에서는 여러 형태의 감성평가 실험데이터를 데이터베이스에 저장ㆍ처리하기 위해 감성정보 데이터베이스에 대한 접근을 하나의 컴포넌트에 집중시킨 데이터베이스 레퍼(wrapper)를 설계하였다. 이 접근방법은 감성정보 데이터베이스에 대한 단순화된 응용 프로그래밍 인터페이스(API: application programming interface)를 제공함으로써 접근코드를 단순화하여 코딩의 생산성을 높이고, 데이터베이스 접근을 일관성 있게 유지함으로써 프로그램의 오류발생 가능성을 감소 시켰다. 또한 데이터베이스 접근을 캡슐화함으로써 내부 논리의 변경이나 소프트웨어 버전 향상으로 JDBC API가 변경되더라도 영향을 최소화할 수 있을 것이다.

This paper investigates the methodology to develop a layout of the simulator for measuring and evaluating human sensibility. Since the simulator layout is different from general building layouts in that it is organized in order to communicate systematically between facilities, laboratories to evaluate human sensibility and equipments to support experiments in simulator, two approaches based on eigenvector and cut tree are support to develop a simulator layout. Qualitative input data (relationship chart, space requirements for each laboratory and equipment) are obtained and transformed into quantitative data. The information obtained by two approaches provides several meaningful clues to generate the simulator layout. The simulator layout is presented based on the obtained information by two approaches. Extracted quantitative data by using eigenvector and cut tree are meaningful of generating the simulator layout.
