Description
Summary:碩士 === 東海大學 === 工業設計學系 === 99 === This paper applys statistical shape analysis to build a correlation model between emotion and form factors of computer mouses. Through this model, the designer can synthesize a new mouse shape which meets emotional needs of the customer. To set up the model, first questionares and factor analysis are used to extract key emotion factors of the mouse. Second, category regression with optimal scaling is used to identify critical design elements which have strong connection with the above emotion factors. Third, statistical shape analysis is used to extract major shape variation components of the design element which has the highest impact of emotion. Four, for the design element the category regression with optimal scaling is applied to model the correlation between its shape components and key emotion factors. Last, a MATLAB program is developed to demonstrate statistical shape analysis steps, to build the correlation model, and to show how it can be a useful tool for designing a new mouse shape which meets customer’s emotional needs.
