Abstract
An industrial design supporting system where customer can join the design process was proposed to respond to the quickly changing and diversifying customers' requirements. Our system was based on Interactive Evolutionary Computing (IEC) technique so a customer can exteriorize his or her requirement through a Kansei image by interacting with the system. We applied our system to a shape design of an eyeglass frame. The design of the Eyeglass frame was determined not only by itself but also in harmony with the customers' face. In our system, the user evaluates samples suggested by the system, and then he or she can obtain the desired design gradually. The systems' effectiveness was showed by experimentation of user operation and additional questionnaires.
