“…A wider meaning is attributed to affordances to make them include understanding of specific product characteristics and consequently offered advantages and delivered benefits beyond actions and functions, e.g. (Cormier and Lewis, 2015). The verification of this understanding can be considered of paramount importance to verify the presence of the above mismatches when it comes to evaluating creative products.…”

The paper investigates the relationship between the forms through which products are represented and the outcomes of evaluations made by observers. In particular, the study focuses on perceived affordances of creative designs, meant as the capability of capturing original elements and corresponding functions, for products presented through static images or videos. Also thanks to the use of Eye Tracking, the experimental results show how dynamic effects that involve salient aspects of products, as well as creative features, are critical to observers’ capability of capturing design intentions.

“…In (Cormier and Olewnik, 2014), an affordance-based approach for capturing the needs of users at a problem abstraction level has been established through the affordance basis which explains the benefits that end users will have when using the artefact to be designed. Their work was further extended to cater for user variation and the integration of design specifications (Cormier and Lewis, 2015). This allows them to maintain a relational viewpoint of how the benefits that will be provided by the artefact are linked to the users' and artefact's characteristics.…”

Evaluation of an Affordance-Based Requirements Generation Tool for Speech And Language Therapeutic Toys

Task clarification poses various challenges to designers as they need to understand the different needs of users before translating the requirements into specifications and aptly conceiving product concepts in the subsequent design stage. This paper presents a descriptive study for the evaluation of a framework and its implementation as a computer-based prototype tool, proposed to assist designers in generating and understanding affordance-based requirements for speech and language therapeutic toys. Results show that early design support is beneficial to both experienced and novice designers.

In this paper we develop an affordance-integrated approach to support design of the customized product non-standard part from conceptual period to detailed period. Firstly, the part affordances are identified by geometrical correlation analysis and shown by liaison graph. Secondly, a force transmission based method is developed to identify the main design parameters of a part, at the same time the design parameters and user requirements both can be mapped into the affordances. In turn, these affordances can be used as a bridge to construct the mapping relationship between the user requirements and the design parameters. In the end, both the force transmission method and the mapping relations are used to construct the detailed model of the non-standard part. A rear platen from the injection molding machine is employed to demonstrate the proposed approach and the result shows that this method can be feasible and useful in product design.
