“…It is also worth noting that the growing number of literature contributions published in the last few years, as the outcomes of the study will elucidate, would have made previous attempts invalid. For instance, the first overview presented in Lohmeyer and Meboldt (2016) described the work of few pioneering research groups active before 2016. In the authors' view, the topic is mature and relevant enough for a first state-of-the-art analysis; the following reasons support this thought in addition to the recalled relatively large number of recent publications.…”

AbstractDesign is inherently affected by human-related factors and it is of no surprise that the fine-tuning of instruments capable of measuring aspects of human behavior has attracted interest in the design field. The recalled instruments include a variety of devices that capture and quantitatively assess people's unintentional and unconscious reactions and that are generally referred as neurophysiological or biometric. The number of experimental applications of these instruments in design was extremely limited as of 2016, when Lohmeyer and Meboldt published a first report on relevant measures and their interpretation in design. In the last few years, the number of relevant publications has increased dramatically and this determines the opportunity to carry out a comprehensive review in the field. The reviewed contributions are analyzed and classified according to, among others, instruments used, the kind of stakeholders involved and the supported design research activities. The role of biometric measures with respect to traditional research methods is emphasized too. The discussed instruments can represent supports or substitutes for traditional approaches, as well as they are capable of exploring phenomena that could not be addressed hitherto. The intensity of research concerning experiments with biometric measurements is discussed too; a particular focus of the final discussion is the individuation of obstacles that prevent them from becoming commonplace in design research.

“…Besides the classical empirical research methods used for research in design for decades (Ahmed 2007), researchers are currently interested in finding methods from different fields that can be adopted in experimental design research (Lohmeyer & Meboldt 2016). Eye tracking, which was formerly adopted in the cognitive sciences (Rayner 1998;König et al 2016) and found as a method that can act as a window to cognitive processes (König et al 2016), is applied in multiple fields nowadays (Bojko 2013;Bol et al 2016;Mussgnug et al 2017) and, recently, has also been found as a potential research method in the field of engineering design.…”

A multitude of design guidelines that are intended to support design engineers with knowledge and information during the embodiment design of physical products have been developed back in the 1980s and 1990s. However, since then, the setting in which products are developed and designed has changed and associated tasks and activities are carried out globally rather than locally. Yet, knowledge on the benefit of such design guidelines and their impact on the performance of multinational design engineers from different regions and with different levels of experience is still lacking. To address this, a mobile eye tracking study has been developed and carried out with 47 differently experienced practitioners from Germany, Eastern Europe and Asia. The results show differences in how design engineers from different regions with different levels of experience may benefit from design guidelines and how design guidelines may impact experts’ and novices’ performance, indicate beneficial ways of using them and point out the kind of information and the way of representation that attracts the most attention within a design guideline. The paper concludes that the improvement and development of design guidelines that are intended to support the embodiment design of physical products is needed and proposes to rethink current engineering design guidelines both content-wise and representation-wise.

“…To overcome these limitations, sustainability studies were solicited for the adoption of neurophysiological and biometric devices, which are increasingly diffused in experimental design research [32]. This area of research revealed how the investigation of the underlying cognitive processes could be capable of elucidating, for example, relevant unconscious aspects of people's interaction with GPs as well as environment-related aspects embedded into products and their communication.…”

Value Perception of Green Products: An Exploratory Study Combining Conscious Answers and Unconscious Behavioral Aspects

2019

Previous studies have failed to provide a comprehensive view on the value perception of green products. The present research takes up this challenge through an experiment in which 43 participants have interacted with and evaluated 40 products—20 baseline products and 20 green products of the same categories. The experiment included both self-assessments to monitor conscious evaluations of the products and biometric measurements (Eye-Tracking and Galvanic Skin Response) to capture unconscious aspects. The results show that different forms of perceived value emerge clearly. Green products, for which participants required greater efforts in the search for relevant information, boost the value attributed to creative solutions still believed of high quality. This effect is significantly more evident for participants showing remarkable interest for sustainability issues. Conversely, alternative products feature greater value perception because they are acknowledged to be functional and reliable.
