Abstract Details

2013, MDES, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Design.
Many objects have what psychologist, Donald Norman, calls affordances. Affordances are cues that provide users with information on how to interact with objects. Those cues are mainly based on our visual perception of the object. What about cues for senses other than vision? The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate the possibility that a product, with information cues applying to more than one of the five senses, can be better understood than a product relying on one sense alone. This demonstration will be to design a piece of equipment for firefighters who are commonly placed in situations where they have to rely on senses other than sight.
