Abstract

It is difficult to define the space that all people can feel comfortable. The reason is partly because comfortness relates to many attributes that specify an environment. People have different preferences, and sometimes even the same person changes his/her preference according the state of health, body conditions, working state and so on. Various parameters and attributes of the space should be controlled in order to realize such a comfortable space depending on the data-base of past usages. Information obtained from human bodies such as temperature, blood pressure, a brainwaves and etc. can be employed to adjust the space to the best condition. In order to realize a comfortable space, first we should recognize human states and behaviors, and secondly we provide an appropriate environment for a focal person in his/her state. The objective of this paper is to build a space befitting human behaviors or actions where people can feel comfortable using technologies such as KANSEI engineering. In other words, it is required to create a comfortable environment suitable to our feelings. Kansei Engineering is such a field that offers better products to the customers by employing human sensitivity.
