ANS:

Limitations/Problems of Kansei Engineering/ Affective Computing

Kansei Engineering and Effective Computing both have similar philosophical tenet, By Kansei Engineering/Effective Computing we can detect our international emotional state or feelings which is about objects by a mathematical way or using computational approach/technique. Effective Computing is more dynamic in the terms of interaction with the artefacts which is depending upon the user's context.

Kansei Engineering is a Japan Based Engineering which fully platforms depend on Psychological Feelings(Kansei). In Kansei Engineering, Psychological Feeling(Kansei) will be implemented into real design solution or product development via Kansei Engineering System(KES).

The Problem or limitation is that the sensation which is limited through a various available number of senses like visual sense, audible sense, olifactif Sense, gustatory sense, tactile sense etc etc..

The second limitation is that according to science of ergonomics which divides usability into the 3 elements i.e. effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction, here both of first effectiveness, efficiency can be measured by various performance parameter like time, quality, quantity but the satisfaction can't, it can only be accessed/measured by self-evaluation for any moment. So these problem/ limitations of Kansei Engineering imposed a negative effect on product development through KES.

According to my own opinion, the KES(Kansei Engineering System) Limitation will be overcome through various stage of test, researches and surveys but I believe it will be feasible.
