A human centered approach Sensory design: Sensory design aims to establish an overall diagnostic of the perceived quality of a product (across all the senses) and to define appropriate methods for designing or redesigning a product. It involves an observation of the varying situations in which a given product or object is used in order to measure the users’ overall opinion of the product, its positive and negative aspects.
