“…Specifically, daylight should be enhanced to reflect the interior beauty of spaces and satisfy the user's visual perspective in improving the museums space experience (Kaya and Afacan 2018). Arising technology provides new ways to assist designers in satisfying potential users' preferences through an immersive vertical reality (IVR) perspective that can identify participants' opinions based on reliable information.…”

Technology has always been creating effective ways to support human decisions. Immersive virtual reality (IVR) has emerged to engage users in a simulated world, and this has gained the interest of a wide variety of users in the heritage industry. A historical case study built in the early 19th century is considered for an adaptive reuse exhibition. The palace is located in Cairo, Egypt, and named after Prince Omar Tosson. The current palace state incorporates a smashed top-lit zone, which is being studied and analyzed for daylighting adequacy. Three simulated distinct optimum skylight configurations are suggested for the redesign where the selection should not be based solely on simulation data, but should consider real-user preferences. Most daylight design criteria are previously based on simulation data that do not necessarily indicate the users’ preferences. But utilizing user interactive tools such as IVR to test daylight redesign options, a whole new dimension is provided. In this study, the VR users’ survey data is statistically analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), where results revealed that the assessment attributes succeeded in reflecting the users’ preferences; which, motivated designers to consider potential users’ daylight preferences in reused spaces. The paper highlights the most significant emotional attributes that provide cost-effective and reliable information concerned with the performance of daylight in IVR before design implementation. This study compares and analyzes the effect of three skylight designs (Cases A, B & C) on the users’ perception before design implementation using (IVR) post-survey. Forty-eight participants have contributed to the study, providing their feedback on six attributes namely: Pleasant, Contrasting, Brightness, Uniform Distribution, Visual Comfort, and Satisfaction. Those attributes are evaluated for the three cases in space using five scale rating values to reveal that the “Pleasant” attribute is most reliable in the study to reflect the users’ preferences for design Case B.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is developing rapidly and is integrated into all aspects of life. Clothing is an indispensable part of meeting the basic needs of the human body, and its traditional functions include warmth, health care, decoration, and beauty. While as a special type of clothing that integrates multidisciplinary technology, smart clothing has a wider scope of action. With the update and iteration of science and technology, many technologies that originally belonged to nonclothing disciplines have also been applied to the clothing field. Accordingly, for the special clothing category of smart clothing based on embedded system, a set of design process that can be used for this category of smart clothing was proposed. Using this design process, an intelligent fire suit that can be used to protect the personal safety of firefighters and assist firefighters to cooperate was designed and implemented. Starting from the daily working environment and working characteristics of firefighters, this firefighting obedience analyzed the design points from the perspectives of clothing comfort, warning, toxic and harmful gas monitoring, and firefighters’ cooperation. After testing, the test results of the outer layer fabric, waterproof and moisture-permeable layer fabric, and thermal insulation and comfort layer fabric of the fire suit all met the corresponding national standards; the monitoring sensitivity of harmful gases was high; it could achieve a “good” warning effect in a dark environment. Compared with ordinary firefighting suits, it was more comfortable under the subjective and objective test and scored 0.669 higher under the seven-point scale; its interactive performance met the actual needs. The clothing has complete functions and a complete feedback mechanism, which has a positive effect on ensuring the personal safety of firefighters.

“…For example, the American Customer Satisfaction Index, which consists of three parts, namely, perceived quality, perceived value and customer expectations, has been widely used to measure the satisfaction in many industries (Fornell et al, 1996). Effects of daylight design features on visitors' satisfaction were studied for a museum F 39,13/14 (Kaya and Afacan, 2018). For a student hall of a university, the satisfaction levels towards six dimensions of residential facilities were surveyed and investigated (Amole, 2009).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to identify key performance indicators (KPIs) for badminton halls and, through a case study, illustrate how the facilities performance of a university badminton hall can be evaluated from the user perspective. Design/methodology/approach After a desktop literature review, the findings were discussed by a focus group, and the discussion result formed the basis for establishing an analytic hierarchy of facilities performance for the badminton hall. Then, interviews were made with 169 badminton hall users to solicit their perceived facilities’ importance and performance levels of the hall. Using MATLAB, a computer program incorporated with an Analytic Hierarchy Process was devised to compute the importance weights of the performance attributes under assessment. The outcomes were interpreted using an importance-performance evaluation matrix. Findings A facilities performance hierarchy, comprising nine KPIs, was established for the badminton hall. The factors influencing the users’ perceptions, the importance and performance levels of the KPIs and the areas of the hall requiring improvements were identified. Research limitations/implications Future studies can take a similar approach of this study to develop KPIs and facilities performance hierarchies for other types of sports venues. Practical implications The method used to identify the improvements required for the badminton hall can be applied to investigations on other sports facilities. Originality/value The methodology of this research was first applied to study a badminton hall – as reported in this paper.
