The second part is used to validate Kansei engineering methodology through this study some questions have been investigated: Which methods within Kansei engineering can be deployed in design practices? Is Kansei engineering a tool which can be used by most designers to link emotions and product properties? Do users know how to describe their ideal products through words? And what is the future for Kansei engineering in India?
