✦ Synopsis

More specifically, the system, named EYES (Electronic Yuppie Expert System) uses EXSYS Professional as the expert system shell and is designed to process information on the relationship between human functions and the product design requirements to find the conceptual design of potential new products. To elicit the general response to these potential products, a consumer survey was conducted. The result of the survey suggested that practical factors such as product functions, controls and ease of use etc. are more important than so-called 'image factors' such as brand name and size. 23.6.39 (126793) Wise, B K and Wise, J A 'Children's human factors in the design of a pre-school educational furnishings system' in Visions.
