ABSTRACT
You will be a Kansei engineer if you read the general references found at the end of this chapter. Kansei needs to be polished on our own. If you are not serious about the use of Kansei, it is impossible to develop new products that are welcoming to the market even if you have learned the Kansei engineering approach thoroughly. How to polish your own Kansei is as follows:
1. Get used to the ergonomic scale. If you can understand good and bad work environments, you will know whether people work with good feelings or not. Therefore, even without bringing the measurement tool, you can determine by ear “the noise here is XX decibels,” and the guidance of environmental improvement is possible. Similarly, when related to lighting, “the brightness here is XX lux,” you can improve the lighting, but it is possible from the decision of your own eyes. If you train several times using the instrument, you can scale the brightness and loudness in your mind. Professor Nagamachi always carries a watch with a second hand to measure time.
