While aesthetics and appearance have always played a role in designing products and systems, this role will increase dramatically in the 21st century as society and the market become more sophisticated and manufacturing technologies are further developed. To compete and succeed in the market, manufacturers will have to look beyond reliability and physical quality, and pay more and more attention to the aesthetics and subjective quality of their products. In the most established technology sectors, product reliability is a 'die' to customers and is often considered as a basic "ticket" qualification to enter the market. Other features and metrics such as usability and aesthetics often separate winners and losers.
Although industrial and product designers are well aware of the importance of design aesthetics, they rely heavily on their "educated guesses", "talents" or "gutfeelings" in design decision making (Noblet, 1993). Some of them also consult the "intuitions" of the trend analyzer and the predictions. There is an obvious lack of systematic, scientific, and engineering methods to help them make aesthetic design decisions and aesthetic assessments. There is also an obvious lack of a scientific and theoretical basis or framework for organizing, communicating and explaining related ideas and concepts.
As a scientific discipline dedicated to the study of human - machine - environment systems, human factors and ergonomics have long established their objectives of improving safety, comfort, productivity and ease of use of products and systems ( Wickens et al. 1998) and has made great strides toward achieving these goals. Although there have been calls for the expansion of the scope of human factor research to include the emotional aspects of design and there have been some efforts towards that direction (Nagamachi 1995, Jordan 1998), aesthetics have generally not been considered as one of the Central themes of research on human factors.
