MID-TERM REVIEW 2001 - 2003
This report is a self-evaluation of the research of
the faculty of Industrial Design Engineering conducted in the period from 2001 to 2003. During
this period the research has been reorganized as
to become an integral part of the TU Delft
research portfolio. Compared to the previous
assessment period, the multi-disciplinary profile
of the research has become more explicit and
the scientific results improved quantitatively as
well. The information in this report is presented
at the level of the faculty as a whole and at the
level of the 14 research subprogrammes in the
current research portfolio of Industrial Design
Engineering.

Preface
This report is a self-evaluation of the research of the faculty of Industrial Design Engineering
(IDE) conducted in the period from 2001 to 2003. This assessment is part of the national
evaluation system for publicly funded research in the Netherlands. Delft University of Technology
(TU Delft) is responsible for the implementation of the evaluation system at its faculties and
research centers. In 2001, both the research and education of IDE were evaluated over the sixyear period from 1995 to 2000. According to TU Delft's schedule, the research over the period
from 2001 to 2006 will be assessed by an external peer evaluation committee in 2007. The
evaluation system also requires each institute to produce a mid-term review in preparation to the
external review. The mid-term review for IDE over the period from 2001 to 2003 was not strictly
required since IDE entered the new evaluation system relatively late. However, TU Delft
recommended IDE to perform a self-assessment and the faculty decided to do so, and asked the
CWB (Research Committee of IDE) to prepare this report.
The form of this assessment report was adapted to the Standard Evaluation Protocol (SEP)
designed for the national evaluation system. However, we deviated from the protocol at some
points. The main purpose of this mid-term review is to provide information about the
implementation of the research portfolio (2002) to the IDE community itself and to the Research
Advisory Board. Emphasis was put on 1) presenting the scientific results and highlights according
to the new research structure as defined by the research portfolio and 2) quantitative information
about personnel, funding and output for the various (sub)programmes. As mentioned, this midterm assessment should be regarded as a prelude to the full evaluation which will take place
three years from now. We aim to reuse the structure of this report for that evaluation.
This report is, according to the SEP, structured into two parts, A) documentation regarding the
level of the institute and B) documentation regarding the level of the research programme. The
CWB decided to describe part B at the level of the 14 subprogrammes as defined in the research
portfolio. A higher aggregation level, for example at the level of the 5 programmes, was believed
inappropriate. Any later changes to the research portfolio or any joins among subprogrammes
will be reflected in the report of 2007, if needed.
Although in 2001 the research portfolio was not yet defined, the input/output analysis is
presented per subprogramme, by back-extrapolation. We believe that this presentation will be
the most useful, in anticipation of the report for the time period 2001 to 2006.
Documents about the evaluation procedure and criteria can be found on the CWB's website

Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering
Delft University of Technology
Name of the institute
Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering (IDE), Delft University of Technology (TU Delft).
Date of establishment
1965
Research area and mission
Innovation and improvement of the product development process as well as of future products
themselves are the major research themes of the faculty. The focus is on durable, mass- or
series-produced goods, primarily consumer products. The core of IDE's mission statement is
Creating products that people love to use. Societal, industrial, environmental and users' interests
are all of concern in disciplinary and multi-disciplinary programmes of research.
Institutional affiliations
The faculty has institutional affiliations with, and formal responsibilities towards the following
organizations:
- The National Dutch research School of Polymer Science and Technology (PTN)
- TRAIL Research School
- Sustainable Building Programme, Faculty of Architecture, TU Delft
- Integrale Productievernieuwing (IPV)
Organization
During the review period, IDE was part of the Faculty of Design, Engineering and Production.
However, this merge, which occurred in 1997, did not affect IDE's education and research
missions. In September 2004 IDE formally regained its status as an independent faculty.
Research at the faculty of IDE is an integral part of TU Delft research portfolio (2002). It is
organized within two themes: Design Theory and Support and Design of future Products,
reflecting the focus on the design process and the products themselves respectively. The
structuring of the research into two themes, five programmes and 14 subprogrammes is depicted
in the table below.
As documented in IDE's research portfolio, the theme Design Theory and Support comprises
three parts:
•
Methodology, Tools and Techniques, focusing on the theoretical fundamentals of the design
•
Life Cycle Engineering and Design, directed to the extension of knowledge with respect to
•
Product Functionality and Experience, focusing on the complex relation between users and
process as well as the methods, tools and techniques that will be used by designers and
design teams during the creative development of new product concepts, the new problems
and opportunities that are offered by computer-enabled product technologies and on ways to
measure the effectiveness and efficiency of these methods, tools and techniques.
product life cycles. Attention is directed to technological, ecological and economic research
issues.
products. The ability to predict the implications of product concepts such as usefulness,
acceptance and experience by the user, is a critical task for the designer.

General documentation
The theme Design of Future Products consists of two parts:
•
•
Product Intelligence is concerned with communicating product functionality to the user, and
in turn how the user can communicate needs and wishes to the product. The research
focuses on the perceptual aspects of the human-product interaction as well as on which
information should be processed by the product so as to further reduce the users’ mental
load in interacting with complex products. Additionally, the research deals with the general
problem of how marketing and technology innovators can communicate and evaluate new
product functionality based on predictors and forces in the market determining the success or
failure of new intelligent products.
Design for All focuses mainly on the way quantitative data concerning dynamic aspects of
product use are collected and subsequently translated into (computerized) design-relevant
guidelines and concepts. Data collection is primarily initiated by both a biomechanical
approach focusing on how the musculo-skeletal system and skin behave during product use
as well as an anthropometrical approach focusing on product dimensions in relation to
dynamic user dimensions.

Within this framework of two themes, 14 subprogrammes were defined in the research portfolio,
as depicted in the table. The assessment of these 14 subprogrammes form the basis of the
documentation regarding the level of research programme (Part B of this report). Therefore, Part
B will refer to 14 Programmes, conforming to the style requirements of the documentation.
In 1999 the research programme called Ambition was initiated at IDE as a funding incentive of
TU Delft's executive board. Ambition has played an important role in the development of the
faculty's multidisciplinary research, and accounted for a number of PhD projects in the research
portfolio.

Strategy and policy
Several strategic and policy developments were initiated during the reviewed period. Some were
based on the recommendations from the Quality Assessment of Education and Research 19952000 or on strategic changes implemented on the level of TU Delft. Also the yearly
recommendations from IDE's Research Advisory Board (RAB) were an important guidance to a
restructuring of the research and the development of the research portfolio.
In October 2002 IDE announced the goals concerning the development of the research to TU
Delft executive board. The five most important goals are listed below together with a brief
statement about the developments leading to those goals:
1. Improved collaboration within the faculty. The co-operation between professor chairs and
among departments of IDE was already significantly improved by the introduction of the
multidisciplinary Ambition research program in 1999. Since the revision of the IDE's research
portfolio in 2002 the integration between disciplinary and interdisciplinary research has
become even more explicit. All of IDE's research has been brought into one of the two
themes. Further, the research structure has been optimized against available expertise in the
faculty rather than according to its departmental organization. Collaborations among
(sub)programmes have been explicitly indicated in the research project plans.
2. Enhancement of the scientific results, both qualitatively and quantitatively. One of the means
to achieve this, was the establishment of larger research groups with a relatively strong
production power. In several ways PhD students and staff are being encouraged to publish
increasingly in high-ranked scientific journals, which indeed led to a 70% grow of the number
of yearly published journal articles from IDE, compared to the period 1995 to 2000.
3. Increasing the income from second and third money streams. The two research themes
(Design Theory and Support and Design of Future Products) were designed to be suited to
raise funds primarily from NWO/STW and from industry, respectively. A significant effort was
successfully put into applications to NWO, STW, the European Commission and Senter. The
process of preparing research proposals and contracting is increasingly supported by
professional staff of the faculty.
4. Stronger collaboration with other faculties of TU Delft. IDE participates in TU Delft's ICT-Delft
Research Centre; furthermore one of the STW funded projects is jointly carried out by IDE
and by Computer Science of the faculty of EWI. Plans for collaborating or even integrated
design institutes of IDE and the Faculty of Architecture are under negotiation.
5. Enhancing the relation between education and research. The new Master of Science
programs of IDE were created in accordance with the research portfolio, thus improving the
knowledge transfer from recent research results to education, and to facilitate the
involvement of graduating students in the various research projects.
The achievement of these goals was strongly supported by the process of providing IDE the
status of an independent faculty, which improved the visibility and the international positioning of
the research. Also the accommodation of all staff, labs and studios in one, new, building
contributed to the enhancement of IDE's identity.
Preparations were made during the review period to establish the Delft Design Institute (DDI).
This institute should promote and coordinate industry projects carried out by or in collaboration
with IDE staff and students. The DDI was officially launched in April 2004.

Brief analysis
During the evaluation period significant changes regarding the organization, the education and
the research took place around and within IDE. Nevertheless, and despite the temporary merge
of IDE with other faculties, the community of IDE as a whole committed itself to the further
improvement of both the quality and quantity of the research and to enhance its identity and
positioning. The increased scientific output as well as the implementation of the research
portfolio in 2002 are the key achievements in that respect. Besides the strong points that can be
mentioned, there are still a lot of issues pointed out by the IDE's management team, the
Research Advisory Board and by the programme/project leaders and researchers themselves
during interviews that each (sub)programme leader had with IDE's Research Committee in June
2004. These issues will be summarized here, but should be considered as a preliminary result of
14
General documentation
analysis, since the review period is short and includes the implementation process of the research
portfolio.
Strengths
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The definition of the research portfolio has improved the transparency of the research
structure as well as the visibility of (interdisciplinary) collaborations within IDE and among
the faculties
IDE has an excellent international name and reputation
The scientific output is increasing both in quality and in quantity
The number of externally funded research projects is (slowly) increasing
New long-term research collaborations have been and are being established
Working toward an independent faculty and moving into the new building with an improved
infrastructure were stimulating for IDE and its research
The connection between the Master of Science programs and research projects serves to
further integrate research and education
An increasing fraction of PhD students at IDE are graduates from this faculty.
Weaknesses
•
•
•
•
•
•
Due to the interdisciplinary character of the research there are relatively few journals that
accept articles about research in industrial design engineering
Industrial design engineering is not in one of the specific areas defined by NWO or STW,
which reduces the opportunities to access funding
IDE has not sufficiently involved the Research Advisory Board in the development of future
plans for the research
In some programmes and projects, planned goals cannot be achieved due to lack of research
capacity
In some programmes there are not sufficient efforts to explore options to acquire research
contracts or STW/NWO funding
Many professor chairs have been vacant for a relatively long time.
Opportunities
•
•
•
•
•
•
The recognition of Human-Centered Design by TU Delft as a Delft Research Centre would
improve the faculty's position
The integration of programmes 7 (Usage evaluation) and 14 (Dynamic anthropometry) would
strengthen the research portfolio
Bringing some subprogrammes into a larger one would be of advantage, for example into a
programme called Usage and marketing research
The submission of a joint proposal by the Delft Design Institute and the Delft School of
Design (of the faculty of Architecture) would enhance the opportunities for scientific
collaboration and for direct and contract-based funding
The appointment of a research director for IDE would accelerate the development of the
research portfolio, facilitate all aspects of the research and increase its efficiency
The newly founded schools of Industrial Design in Eindhoven and Twente can become
prominent research partners.
Threats
•
•
•
In order to perform scientifically there can be a tendency to focus on a specialized topic
rather than on the multidisciplinary research of industrial design engineering itself
To acquire funding there is a risk of entering company-specific projects with low scientific
relevance
Staff may get overloaded with teaching and management tasks, leading to inefficiencies in
research.

The main focus of this programme is
the way quantitative data concerning
dynamic aspects of product use are
collected and subsequently translated
into (computerised) design-relevant
guidelines and concepts.

DOCUMENTATION ON THE LEVEL OF RESEARCH PROGRAMME 2001-2003
Title
Programme leader
Design processes in product development
Dr. P.A. Lloyd
The goal of this research is to increase our understanding of the factors that go to make up
design processes in product development. Influencing factors break down into a number of multidisciplinary areas such as the nature of design problems, the structure of design processes, the
abilities and experience of designers, design representation, design thinking and reasoning,
creativity, and communication. The overall goal is to be achieved both through empirical studies
– recording and analyzing what designers do when they design, and through critical/theoretical
analyses – clarifying the concepts which designers and design researchers use when they talk
about the design process. The proper understanding of the design process is fundamental to the
effective development of methods, tools, and design support systems, as well as for design
education.

Strategy and policy
Research subjects
A. Design communication and reflective practice, aims to show how the concept of shared
understanding can be usefully applied within a number of social design contexts, to make explicit
factors enhancing and inhibiting design communication and vision creation and to develop clear
and precise terminology for discussing issues related to design communication.
B. The interface between product development and production is concerned with two issues: 1)
How do the differences between New Product Development (NPD) and production influence the
interactions across the interface during development and during implementation. 2) In what
respect does the work of NPD influence the implementation of the new ‘product’, i.e. the ramp-up
of production.
C. Information Processing in Design aims at optimization of the conceptualization phase by A
better understanding of design thinking through information processing, with an emphasis on the
use external sources of information, and the role of expertise and by offering models and
methods on visualization which will support the designer, with special attention to the generation
of ideas and the communication through visualization techniques.
Plans for the research focus
In general the focus of the research will remain the same for the three projects within the
research programme. The only change will be that in the Design Communication and Reflective
Practice project Norbert Roozenburg, previously looking at the Meta Context of designing, will
now be concentrating more on the Educational Context and publishing within the field of design
education.
Plans for new collaborations and funding
At present a funding bid is being prepared for a European FP6 project entitled: Incorporating
Knowledge and Innovation in the Product Design Process. The Design Methodology Group are
part of the consortium and one of the proposed work package leaders. At the beginning of 2005

there will be a funding bid to the NWO for a VENI and/or VIDI project. A proposal is also
underway for a joint NWO/STW initiative in Applied Cognition under project: Design
Communication and Reflective Practice of the programme

Overview of the results
Scientific highlights
The Video-Assisted Learning in Design (VALiD) project, initiated in 2001 in collaboration with
Janet McDonnell from University College London, produced a series of publications looking at the
reflective practice aspects of using digital video in the design process.
The research was set up in such a way that design students would be able to learn about their
design process while researchers could obtain valuable data about designing. The combined
result was educational and research output.
A group of design students were asked to film their own design process, and then – through the
use of digital video editing – tell the ‘story’ of that design process. The conversations that
resulted revealed valuable insights into the way design experience and design knowledge is both
constructed and de-constructed during designing.

2 Methods and techniques for the conceptual phase of design
DOCUMENTATION ON THE LEVEL OF RESEARCH PROGRAMME 2001-2003
Title
Programme leader
Methods and techniques for the
conceptual phase of design
Prof. dr. P.J. Stappers
This research programme focuses on the development of methods and techniques to be used by
designers and design teams in the early phases of the design process. During these phases the
design problem is analyzed, initial ideas are formed and subsequently developed into concepts.
There is a growing pressure on the early phases because of increased technological complexity,
increased attention for the social, cultural, and experiential contexts of product use, and the need
for faster development of new products. Central to the early phase is the generation, integration
and communication of new ideas and existing knowledge. Much of the ideation and
communication occurs through visualizations such as sketches, storyboards, mood boards and
collages and through simple physical mock-ups as concept prototypes. These means are
becoming more important because much of the information is perceptual, emotional, cognitive
and social and thus difficult to verbalize. Furthermore these means are important because design
teams are increasingly working in (remote) collaboration with specialists from diverse
backgrounds having their own frame of reference and language. Visualizations and (interactive)
prototypes facilitate communication across disciplinary boundaries.

Strategy and policy
Research subjects
A. Media capabilities of the designer's tools A series of tools and techniques for supporting
designers in product conceptualization is explored, iterated, and tested in lifelike situations
(research through design). New insights stem from both experimental
testing as well as from design iterations. The prototypes developed in this project are analyzed
on two levels: (i) as tools, within the context of design techniques, and (ii) as interfaces, within
the context of user-product interaction.
B. Experience-centered design/techniques. The objective of this project is to develop techniques
that designers and design teams can use in analyzing, communicating, and designing for humanproduct interaction. The use of rich media by designers in communicating with and about users
and supported by tools and techniques, is studied. Examples are computer-supported dynamic
visualizations (video narratives), interactive simulations (sketchy VR prototypes), but also
traditional media (storyboards), and techniques such as play-acting. Further, the means for
designers to translate verbal expressions into form properties is examined. It must end up in a
design tool that acknowledges the role of the human body in expression formation and
understanding.
Plans for the research focus
In this period an emphasis was put on doing research through design by creating close-topractice prototypes of design tools and testing these in real-world settings rather than laboratory
situations.
27
2 Methods and techniques for the conceptual phase of design
Also, a start was made in developing context mapping techniques (constructing and
communicating information about contexts of user-product interaction), in collaboration with
prof. dr. E. B.-N. Sanders of Ohio State University and SonicRim Inc, and in collaboration with
subprogramme MTT-1. This field was explored first through student research projects, and
several Masters' graduation projects. In 2004 ir. F. Sleeswijk Visser started a Ph.D. project on
context mapping.
Plans for new collaborations and funding
In collaboration with the Faculty of Aeronautics (dr. M. Mulder) and Wright State University (prof.
dr. J.M. Flach), the application of Cognitive Systems Engineering (CSE) as a framework for
modelling user-product interaction for consumer products is being explored.
The ingredients of design techniques, interactive media design, context mapping, and CSE form
the basis for a number of collaborations which aim for Ph.D. projects/applications in the next two
years (e.g. DECIS on communication support tools, TU/e and EUR on decision support systems
for fuzzy data, KAIST and SAIT on user experience modelling).

Overview of the results
Scientific highlights
The period's highlights were found in the realization, evaluation, and communication of research
findings through tool prototypes. ProductWorld (Ph.D. Thesis Gert Pasman, 2003), the digital
sketchbook (Hoeben), TRI (Stappers & Keller), and Cabinet (Ph.D. Thesis Ianus Keller, due 2005)
all serve as examples of 'research through design'.
A visible application of the research through design approach, and context mapping techniques,
was the Delft student entry to the Microsoft Research Design Expo 2003, which received the best
design concept award.

3 Product conceptualization in collaborative virtual prototyping environment
DOCUMENTATION ON THE LEVEL OF RESEARCH PROGRAMME 2001-2003
Title
Programme leader
Product conceptualization in collaborative
virtual prototyping environment
Prof. dr. I. Horváth
The research programme develops and implements computer-oriented theories, methods, tools
and pilot systems for supporting conceptual design of products in a collaborative virtual
prototyping environment. To this end, it considers two foci of activities. On the one hand, it
explores methods and techniques and it prototypes tools for knowledge-intensive computer
support of product conceptualization. On the other hand, it studies the technological
infrastructure, collaboration support, information and knowledge management, and system
realization aspects of collaborative virtual design/prototyping environments. The research
programme contributes to the scientific development of the discipline as well as provides
applicable solutions for product conceptualization and remote collaboration in the industry.
1
Strategy and policy
Research subjects
A. Dynamic shape advancement (Dynash) The research project is centered on analysis,
computation, materialization, presentation and interpretation of shape to understand why, when
and how different types of shapes are assigned. Methods and pilot software tools will be
developed and their effectiveness in the industrial design process will be evaluated. The research
objectives include: analysis of existing CAD and manual shape modeling processes, development
of theories and techniques for dynamic shape context, investigation of subjective shape
appreciation as a function of shape parameters, development of optical back projection from CAD
onto the physical shape, and fast production of editable physical shapes.
B. Knowledge intensive conceptualization. This project commences with several state of the art
surveys and research case studies. Explorative research will be done in several forms to
investigate the data and information need of, use, and reuse by designers in conceptual design
activities. Solutions will be developed for (a) assessment, selection and structuring knowledge,
and (b) formalizing and embedding knowledge in aspect models for conceptual design to
proactively support the conceptualization activities of designers. To facilitate building knowledgeintensive models, natural means of interaction will be studied and applied in the user interface of
the computer aided conceptual design tools. Experiments will be done to explore the
opportunities of using knowledge intensive conceptualization tools by dislocated design teams.
Plans for the research focus
The research focus will not generally change. However, due to the increased involvement of
companies and other societal parties, there is a tendency to translate theories and methods more
into practically usable tools and methods, and to do that in a relatively early stage of the
research. For example, new methods and algorithms developed for 3D shape scanning and
recognition are directly applied to cases from partners in the industry.
37
3 Product conceptualization in collaborative virtual prototyping environment
Plans for new collaborations and funding
After successful applications for funding at STW and the EC Research Framework, new contacts
are being established with academic and industrial partners, including the University of Hannover,
the Zhejiang University and the Institute of Applied mathematics and Information Technologies
(CIMA) in Genova.

DOCUMENTATION ON THE LEVEL OF RESEARCH PROGRAMME 2001-2003
Title
Programme leader
Personal energy systems
Prof. ir. A.J.G. de Deugd
During the last decades, electrically powered appliances have become common property of Dutch
households. Portable appliances contribute substantially to the growth of electrically powered
appliances. In particular in the information and communication sector and in the audio sector,
portable products are widely available and in use. Actually, they are the fastest growing sectors
in the booming market of electronic and digital products. For instance in the year 2000,
worldwide about 200 million cellular phones were in use, of which about 7 million in the
Netherlands. The global number is expected to double in the next two years. Aligned with the
growth of these portable (or personal) products there is a steady growth of primary and
secondary battery sales. The scientific challenge lies in understanding how the use of alternative
energy systems can affect the life cycle performance of personal products. The results of
research in this area can be used to develop tools and methods to assist the designer in
translating a chosen technology into a combination of technical solutions that fits within the
wishes of the consumer.
1
Strategy and policy
Research subject
The research is directed to the extension of knowledge of powering personal products in a no
conventional way with respect to product life cycles and the impact of both production and use of
products on the environment. The results are used to develop tools and methods to assist the
designer in translating a chosen technology in a combination of technical solutions that fits within
the wishes of the consumer An important aspect of the research is related with the fact that
assessing the feasibility of alternative energy systems in future portable electronic products is
hindered by the absence of data on expected energy consumption profiles of these products. This
problem could be solved by designing a method for the prediction of energy consumption
profiles, based on product features and scenarios on product usage.
Plans for the research focus
The research focus in the PES group has slowly shifted away from pure environmental aspects of
alternative energy sources. The research concentrates on three types of alternative energy:
Photovoltaics, fuel cells and human power. In the area of fuel cell system we will focus on
manufacturing and usability. In the area of photovoltaics, the focus is on exploring technologypushed product design. In the area of human-powered energy systems, the focus will shift from
environment to modeling product-user interaction. The latest project will focus on describing
methods and tools in the field of reducing the energy consumption of consumer products.
Plans for new collaboration and funding
There are no specific plans for new collaboration or funding. Initiatives in this direction, aiming at
international cooperation, are developing in a rapid pace.

5 Engineering design with new materials
DOCUMENTATION ON THE LEVEL OF RESEARCH PROGRAMME 2001-2003
Title
Programme leader
Engineering design with new materials
Dr. P. Kandachar
Both reliability and durability aspects are demanding increased attention and goal during
materials selection and product design. The number of innovative material concepts is also
growing steadily; they offer both the challenges of novelty and new design opportunities, which
need to be explored. Understanding the mechanical behavior of products manufactured using
new materials is essential to meet the requirements of the technological products in the modern
society, both from the economic and from the technological points of view. The knowledge about
the theory and practice of designing reliable and durable products is, however, insufficiently
developed and is not accessible for designers. In addition, the long-term environmental impact of
the new materials and their products is largely unknown. The scientific challenge lies in
understanding the complex mechanical behavior, implementing the numerical models in
engineering tools and predicting the long-term behavior of products, while at the same time,
optimizing products for minimal material consumption and environmental impact. The societal
relevance is in developing methodologies to design products, which are reliable and durable,
while both environmental impact and material consumption are minimized. Minimizing material
usage also means lesser energy consumption during the life cycle of products.
1
Strategy and policy
Research subject
The research objectives of this project are to (a) to generate the knowledge of methodology of
selection of (new) materials during design process, taking into consideration the technological
factors, economical aspects, environmental impact and the user needs and (b) to develop, by
means of experimentation & prediction, methodologies to design products, which are reliable and
durable, while both environmental impact and material consumption are minimized
Plans for the research focus
A new PhD activity in the area of Integral Optimisation of Materials Selection during Design
(Materialiseren in Dutch) has started in August 2003 (Ms. Ilse van Kesteren). This activity focuses
on a part of the research activity described in the description of the sub-programme. Further, it is
noted that there is an increasing awareness of the importance of advanced (material)
technologies in industrial enterprises. This is evident in the type of company assignments for
graduate students in Industrial Design Engineering. Assignments in the area of Nanotechnology,
Space Technology, Smart Materials etc are being dealt. It appears that the motivation from is not
only from scientific relevance, but also from the need to quickly convert the scientific research
findings to useful products to obtain a competitive advantage. Further the need to develop
products for a market which is largely unattended to (the so called Bottom-of-the-Pyramid
countries) is also increasing. In all these targeted activities, engineering design with new
materials continue to play pivotal role. While some preliminary trials in these areas have been
attempted, these external signals need to be considered as additional motivations to continue
with the theme selected in the sub-programme.
56
5 Engineering design with new materials
Plans for new collaborations and funding
Current new collaboration activities are: (1) a new research topic on materials selection during
design including aspects of material personality, leading to PhD (Ms. Elvin Karana) degree is likely
to begin in 2004. Negotiations with the Turkish Scholarship Agency is being held (2) collaboration
with the department of Architecture, Delft University of Technology, will be started in 2004,
leading to PhD degree of a candidate (Mr. Pablo van der Lugt) working on development of new
and existing value-added bamboo products in Latin America meeting European demands to
stimulate export to the European market and (3) negotiations are going on with United Nations
Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) to fund a project to systematically create a new
industry based on products in composite materials based on natural fibres such as Sisal, Abaca,
Coir, Jute and other fibres.

Overview of the results
Scientific highlights
The new PhD activity on Integral Optimisation of Materials Selection during Design bgon in
August 2003 has already resulted in the publication of a paper entitled “Commercialization of new
materials in consumer goods” to be presented in Futureground 2004, a fully refereed
international conference in November 2004, at Melbourne Australia. (Ms. Van Kesteren). The
research activities on product development with natural fibre composites has received
international attention and recognition. The invited keynote lecture on “Opportunities for Product
Development for Industrial Applications in Polymer Composites Reinforced with Natural Fibres”
was the opening lecture of the 23rd Riso International Symposium on Materials Science with the
theme " Sustainable Natural and Polymeric Composites – Science and Technology", Riso National
Laboratory in Roskilde, Denmark, September 2002 (Dr Kandachar). The same conference also
provided opportunity for another paper on

6 Design for sustainability
DOCUMENTATION ON THE LEVEL OF RESEARCH PROGRAMME 2001-2003
Title
Programme leader
Design for sustainability
Prof. dr. ir. J.C. Brezet
The worldwide-accepted need for sustainable development implies that and goal mass
consumption goods and their functional contexts should be characterized by continuously
improving environmental, economic and social-cultural values. Therefore, the exploration,
description, understanding and prediction of problems and opportunities to innovate and design
products and product-systems with superior quality with respect to sustainable development
values (ecodesign) is the central question of the program. The envisaged research activity
comprises the systematic development, testing and international diffusion of methods and tools
for the design of artifacts with superior life cycle eco-efficiency and –effectiveness (via intelligent
materials and energy applications, via integration of emerging product-technologies and via
financial-economic optimization). Particularly, the research focus is on modeling, actual
application and demonstration for mobile electronic and new mobility – including automotiveproducts, departing form a human centered design perspective. In addition, the programme
focuses on the business aspects of ecodesign, based on current reality and expected
developments in the near future. Here, environmental aspects of products and processes are
analysed in relation to traditional business factors like financial (omnipresent), legislative (end-oflife, toxicity), quality (environmental value and performance) and marketing (competitor analysis,
benchmarking, consumer research) aspects.

Strategy and policy
Research subjects
A. Methodology and tool development of life-cycle eco-efficiency and effectiveness. In this project
the specific objective is - on basis of real-life experiments in interaction with the most important
stakeholders - to develop world standard methodologies and tools for life-cycle eco-efficient and
effective products and product-systems.
B. Diffusion and Operationalization of Industrial EcoDesign. This project is concerned with the
implementation and operationalisation of ecodesign in original equipment
manufacturing companies. The objective is to research this from both an applied, prescriptive
angle as well as more holistic, explanatory/descriptive one, in order to bridge the evident gap
between ‘theory’ and ‘practice’ in this field.
C. Sustainable product-system and industrial processes design. In this project the specific
objective is the development of methodologies for the design of radical, new sustainable
product-systems and industrial processes.
Plans for the research focus
This project originally started with its main focus on tools and guidelines for industrial design
engineers in the environmentally oriented redesign of existing products. Although still important,
in today’s program more attention is given to the other elements of sustainable development, the
business and social aspects. Also the emergence of new energy sources and materials stimulate
sustainable product innovation beyond redesign and beyond mere greening. New product-
64
6 Design for sustainability
concepts are being developed and tested, including services within the Product Realization Lab as
a part of the Delft Design Institute.
Plans for new collaborations and funding
Right from the start of the project (since 1992) the necessity of cooperation with industry and
government has gotten a high priority. Cooperation with industry not only means working
together with some of the leading product-companies in the world, like Toyota, Shell and Philips,
as well as with several innovative Dutch SME’s, but also the creation of start-ups and new
ventures from TU Delft-DfS graduate students, building their businesses on these new productconcepts. In order to stimulate this trend even further, the activities of the “Product Realization
Lab” will be enhanced, aiming at prototyping, small-scale production and user testing of new,
sustainable product-concepts. This strategy is according to the new financial directives of the
Faculty.

Usage evaluation
Drs. H. Kanis
Actual usage is the arena for the success of new designs as effective, and goal efficient and
satisfactory products in supporting, protecting, replacing and extending all kinds of human
activities. In fact, designers are often surprised by the actual usage of newly designed products.
Even worse is that in many cases the surprise is unwelcome because unanticipated users’
operations deteriorate designed functionalities or may lead to accidents. The difficulty for
designers is that activities of users – e.g., their individual perceptions, cognitions and use actions
– tend to be highly unpredictable within the boundaries set by sensory, brain and motor
capacities of human beings. The envisaged research aims at supporting designers to anticipate
future usage in three ways. 1) More insight will be gained into the way people, as users, attribute
meanings to featural and functional characteristics of products. 2) It is recognized that generic
insights will never specify the situatedness of actual usage in context. Hence, anticipative
methods have to be developed, including the use of early models and the application of
techniques involving self-reports. 3) Uncertainty about future usage may be partly neutralized by
transforming the actual users’ behavior to a source of inspiration for new product development.
This approach should shed light on the possibilities of "usage-driven innovation".
The scientific challenges of the subprogramme are to integrate observational research in design
processes, both as an effective and efficient tool as well as a methodology that is fully
respectable in terms of scientific credibility.
1
Strategy and policy
Research subject
The research is concerned with generic principles of behavior of users in operating everyday
products, and with the study of anticipative methods that account for the situatedness of userproduct interaction in context. Usage as a source of inspiration for new designs is investigated as
well.
Plans for the research focus
Currently, no changes have been envisioned. However, after the appointment of the new
professor, the research focus will be reconsidered in the near future, including the further
integration of the subprogrammes Usage Evaluation and Dynamic Anthropometry.
Plans for new collaborations and funding
At the moment, pilot projects are being carried out, which may result into more substantial
projects. Further contacts with the industry are to be initiated under the supervision of the new
professor.

PhD thesis Design models for anticipating future usage, M.J. Rooden.
This study explored how design models, such as drawings, foam models and computer
simulations, can assist designers in anticipating future usage. A state of non-functioning
appears to be the most relevant limitation of design models for observing ‘natural’ usage.
Practitioners’ expertise in terms of empathy and sensitivity turned out to be more
important for the anticipation of usability problems than ‘hard’ ergonomics knowledge.
PhD thesis User cognition in product operation, G.J. Gelderblom.
By studying cognitive fixation in product operation, the thesis offers insight into the
mental processes that control our actions. The study shows the importance of product
appearance as a possible misleading factor in users' expectations.

creativity can be assessed in a scientific way.

DOCUMENTATION ON THE LEVEL OF RESEARCH PROGRAMME 2001-2003
Title
Programme leader
Product aesthetics and experience
Prof. dr. P. Hekkert
Although the functionality a product offers has always been, and will remain, an essential
precondition for product satisfaction and market success, various developments – technological
innovations, ‘experience economy’, etc. - point at an increasing importance of product experience
as a major driving force of product acquisition and use. Product experience is a multi-dimensional
construct that can be operationalised by verbal and behavioural measures tapping appraisal,
emotional and aesthetic reactions. In this programme the focus is on the active user, interacting
with a product through all his senses and within a particular context, and thereby undergoing a
dynamic and multi-layered experience This programme examines relationships between
perception through various senses and the experience of product properties. Research is directed
towards identifying, classifying, and designing relevant experiences and relating them to product
and interaction properties. The aim of this research orientation is to contribute to experience
centered design. Our focus is human-centered, i.e. understanding the processes underlying
product experiences, and design driven, by focusing the end goals of research projects on
theoretical models, tools, or methods that can be disclosed to the industrial design community
1
Strategy and policy
Research subjects
A. Design for the senses. The goal of this research is to generate knowledge and methods for
sensorial and experiential design in order to develop a profound and powerful design strategy
that contributes to the development of original, impassioned, appropriate, and experiential
consumer products. New insights are turned into design principles that are tried and tested in socalled experiential prototypes (i.e., research through design.
B. Experience centered design / theory. This project examines how these experiences can be
generated, classified and measured, and which underlying processes and contextual
factors affect or determine the origin of an experience.
Plans for the research focus
With respect to project A, the focus will be shifted more and more towards the interaction
between the senses, rather then studying them in isolation. This shift is already visible in a new
PhD project on sensory dominance. For project B, the focus will be more and more on
experiences that result from a physical interaction with products and on dynamic changes in the
experience as a result of prolonged exposure and use.
Plans for new collaborations and funding
We have recently signed a 5-year collaboration agreement with Procter & Gamble (starting date
April 2004). Projects will be defined on a regular basis.
90
8 Product aesthetics and experience
On September 1, 2004, an EU Coordinated Action program has started on ‘affective engineering’
in which we play a major role (WP leader).
Further collaborations include:
For project A:
- New projects for Philips Design.
- Project multi-sensory experience: Grant application for one PhD will be submitted for the open
competition of NWO.
- Project visual aesthetics: Grant application for one PhD will be submitted for the NWO
programme Evolution & Behavior (deadline December 15, 2004).
For project B
- A 4-year collaboration agreement has been signed with TNS-NIPO on ‘measuring emotions’
(starting date October 2004).
- Assignment of PhD student on P&G contract (start 2004).
- Assignment of PhD student on TNS-NIPO contract (start 2005).
- Application for PhD student on LinguaBytes project, funded by ‘Instituut voor doven’.

Overview of the results
Scientific highlights
In 2002, Pieter Desmet finished his PhD project on ‘Designing Emotions’ (with honors). Next to a
theoretical model on how products evoke emotions, the project resulted in an instrument to
measure product emotions, PrEmo, that was praised and acquired by both the academic and
industrial community. In the field of multi-sensory experience, two NWO applications were
successful, leading to new PhD projects on surprise in product design and sensory dominance
(Schifferstein & Hekkert). A conceptual framework for the identification and experience of
product sounds (van Egmond & Ozcan) and a tactile experience guide for designers (Sonneveld)
were developed. We also determined the main parameter for the use of sound in branding (van
Egmond & den Otter), identified two parameters, typicality and novelty, that are jointly
responsible for the aesthetic appeal of a product (Hekkert), and acquired much insight in one of
the main parameters of user-product attachment, personalization (Mugge). Most of these studies
did not only lead to publications in scientific journals, but also attracted much attention from
industry, resulting in a great number of 3rd stream funded projects and long-term cooperation
agreements. At an applied level, a series of interactive installations for the study of resonance
were built (Hummels) and a book on Dutch Designers of the 20th century was edited and
published (de Rijk). Finally, through our participation in the Design & Emotion society (Hekkert &
Desmet), we co-organized the 3rd conference on Design & Emotion (Loughborough, 2002).

9 Consumer preference
DOCUMENTATION ON THE LEVEL OF RESEARCH PROGRAMME 2001-2003
Title
Programme leader
Consumer preference
Prof. dr. J.P.L. Schoormans
Consumer preference for new products is an issue in buying, using as well and goal as in nonusing/discarding of products. Knowledge about consumer preference can enhance the quality of
product development. Until recently, consumers linked product preferences mainly to product
functionality. Nowadays, preferences are believed to be linked to product experience/emotions as
well: in addition to functional demands, products must fit consumer demands such as emotions
and individuality of persons. In addition, designers/manufacturers are not only confronted with
the wider scope of consumer preferences but also with the increased technological possibilities
that can be used to include new functionalities in products. In many cases these new
functionalities are not or only partly expressed through product form. The challenge of the
research is to enhance the knowledge about expectations and preferences of consumers during
the process of buying and using a new product. This knowledge may be used to design products
that can mediate between technological possibilities and increasing consumer demands, and to
develop tools to assess realistic consumer expectations about new products.
1
Strategy and policy
Research subject
In this research, theory and tools are developed that enable reliable assessment of consumers’
reactions toward product functionality and form. The objectives are to gain knowledge about
consumer reactions toward new products in general and for the form of these new products in
particular. Such knowledge supports and strengthens a customer-orientated approach to new
product development.
Plans for the research focus
Two important changes in the research focus are the recent interest in consumer skepticism and
the planned research into the use of the observation research techniques into the idea generation
phase of the new product development process.
Plans for new collaborations and funding
An STW research proposal on the topic of consumer scepticism (in collaboration with Prof dr. A.
Pruyn, University of Twente) will be presented to STW by the end of October 2004. A research
project on the presentation of product visions with the Design Centre MUOVA in Finland is in its
setup phase. Collaboration with the programme Usage evaluation with respect to the research
into the methods of observation research are discussed and will be presented before the end of
2004.

Overview of the results
Scientific highlights
In her dissertation Govers tested and presented a method to assess consumer personality that
can be used to provide guidelines that can underscore the design process of product personality.
In his dissertation Vink researched the way consumers react on mass customization of products.
He showed that there is a trade-off between the number of product choices and the amount of
effort consumers want to invest in a product choice.
Creusen and Schoormans (JPIM forthcoming) showed that consumers use product appearance
not only to to judge the aesthetic product value but also its ergonomic, symbolic and functional
(quality) product value.

DOCUMENTATION ON THE LEVEL OF RESEARCH PROGRAMME 2001-2003
Title
Programme leader
Transparent interfaces
Prof. dr. H. de Ridder
The introduction of new technologies has led to a range of consumer and (semi-) professional
products with complex and embedded functionality. Increasingly products are being designed to
handle a number of complex tasks and offer growing amounts of information streams to the user.
Such products, in particular (mobile) ICE (information, communication, and entertainment)
appliances, incorporate an increasing number of functionalities with which the user can interact
only indirectly through an interface. As a consequence, users often struggle with the complexity
of the interface instead of interacting with the content. Ideally, the interface should be
transparent, thus becoming invisible. That is, the focus should be on interacting through an
interface at the task level instead of with an interface. The focus of this research is on finding
ways to make the user interface as transparent or unobtrusive as possible to enable the user to
engage in the task or content at hand rather than be bothered by how to control or interact with
the product.
1
Strategy and policy
Research subjects
A. User understanding. This research provides insight into the features of human behavior that
may help a product to guess and track user intentions and thus reduce unwanted
ambiguities/uncertainties, in this way increasing trust in the product. Hence, the objective of the
project on User Understanding is to determine the required knowledge about human behavior to
accomplish successful intention guessing and tracking.
B. Information presentation. This research focuses on visual perception investigating the relation
between (flexible) forms and perceived product meaning as well as the impact of peripheral
vision on local task performance and vice versa. The first objective is to link physical description
of forms to perceptual description. Secondly, the relation between meaning (psychological
experience) and the perceptual descriptions has to be identified.
Plans for the research focus
The research on user understanding will focus on the evaluation of DEVAN, an in-house
developed tool for detailed video analysis, in the context of a European research program on
usability testing. This is scheduled to be finished by the end of 2005, resulting in a PhD-defense.
Meanwhile, the possibilities of combining data from eye movement registrations and DEVANanalyses will be explored in order to gain knowledge about the mental process underlying the
user's overt behavior. The research on trust will continue to shift towards willingness to share in
peer-to-peer networks (CACTUS Impulse project) and extended towards perceived trust and
willingness to share multimedia-related data in virtual communities (I-Share project as part of the
BSIK-programme Freeband; start: May 2004, a PhD-student starts in September 2004).
The research on information presentation will deal with multimodal interaction as a new project
on gesture recognition and speech starts in 2004. It should provide insight in the (potential)
implications of employing gestures and speech in future intelligent environments. This research is
already financed through funding from the ICT-Delft Research Centre, but external funding has
102
10 Transparent interfaces
been applied for at STW (project: NOGRIP, Non-Obtrusive Gesture Recognition for Intuitive
Performance). One PhD-student started in January 2004. A second PhD project is scheduled to
start at the beginning of 2005. Finally, the research on shape in picture perception will continue
and extended into the field of composition, contour and color perception.
Plans for new collaborations and funding

DOCUMENTATION ON THE LEVEL OF RESEARCH PROGRAMME 2001-2003
Title
Programme leader
Intelligence in products
Dr. D.V. Keyson
The possibilities of products equipped with connectivity, data storage, and goal wireless
communication, sensors, and information processing techniques create new opportunities for
industrial designers. Many appliances will have adaptive visual displays showing icons and
symbols depicting functions and procedures. Multimodal channels of user-product communication
such as graphics combined with gesture input, speech
driven dialogues and auditory feedback are envisioned. Given such technological developments,
designers need new design techniques and interaction design concepts, leading to products that
recognize needs and empower the user. The research focuses on (1) multimodal interaction
design, (2) user and task modeling, (3) user-product collaborative dialogue design, (4) trust and
agent personality design, including trustworthy visual design, dialogue design aspects,
progressive disclosure of system functionality, and establishing as sense of mutual user-product
learning.
1
Strategy and policy
Research subjects
A. User interfaces to intelligent products. The research is concerned with (1) multimodal
interaction design, i.e. on concrete and abstract multimodal representations of information and
input, including use of tangible interfaces, gestures and non-speech sound, to enable rich and
expressive input control and information represent actions. (2) Design theory towards
understanding balances between hedonic and ergonomic qualities of multimodal interaction so as
to create an optimal flow level between product and user. Included here are the hedonic and
aesthetic aspects of appeal and the design for resonance. (3) Design of conversational interfaces
in a multimodal context of interaction, including utilization of theory developed in the project on
user models for intelligent products.
B. Modeling the user and context in intelligent products. This research focuses on (1) user and
task modeling, i.e. modeling of the users preferred and assumed state of interaction based on
common practices or profiles, real-time events, and system learning, (2) user-product
collaborative dialogue design, i.e. the design of mixed user-product initiative and turn taking as
well as the integration of collaborative
dialogue with visual-manual interaction and (4) requirements engineering for intelligent medical
product, including translation to design examples with a focus on intensive care units
Plans for the research focus
All the plans layed out in the current version of the research portfolio are on track. With an
additional new AIO project for 2005 proposal being developed with Philip Lighting, to focus on
atmoshpere and activity modeling.

12 Product advantage and market acceptance of intelligent products
DOCUMENTATION ON THE LEVEL OF RESEARCH PROGRAMME 2001-2003
Title
Programme leader
Product advantage and market
acceptance of intelligent products
Prof. dr. E.J. Hultink
This research deals with the phenomenon of intelligent products that have recently become en
vogue within the marketplace. These intelligent products deliver a whole new range of
capabilities that cannot be found in other products. For example, many of these products are
autonomous and reactive or they can co-operate with other products. Examples of such products
are car navigation systems, autonomous lawnmowers, smart thermostats and Sony’s Aibo.
Although intelligent products may seem attractive to consumers in that they are more efficient
and effective versions of their predecessors, it is not clear whether product intelligence
contributes to consumer acceptance and new product success. For example, consumers may
perceive intelligent products as complex and the use of such products risky. In addition,
consumers cannot easily derive the benefits of a new intelligent product from inspecting the
product form, as most benefits are software-related. Marketing communications are therefore
necessary to educate the market so that consumers will comprehend and appreciate these
benefits.
1
Strategy and policy
Research subject
The research is concerned with the definition of product advantage of new, intelligent products,
and how it can be measured. Product developers can benefit from using such a scale to make
corrections during the NPD process if customer reactions require so. It is investigated how new
functionalities contribute to new product advantage, and how product advantage can be
measured for new intelligent products. Communicating relevant product advantages to the target
group contributes to success. It remains unclear, however, how invisible new intelligent
functionalities should be communicated. It is investigated if the use of analogies helps to
enhance consumer learning of the benefits of new intelligent products. Finally, this programme
also deals with factors influencing the use of market knowledge in high tech new product
development, and how this use of market information is related to the advantages offered by the
new product, and its success rate in the market.
Plans for the research focus
The focus of this research program will remain on the market acceptance of new high-tech,
intelligent products. Three PhD defenses are planned for 2005 (Ait el Houssi, Rijsdijk &
Veldhuizen). The first two PhD students will leave the department in 2004; Veldhuizen will stay
around for some time. To preserve continuity in the research program, it is our intention to start
two new PhD projects in the next six months. One Ph.D. project will focus on the “evaluation of
scenarios for discontinuous products”. This project will investigate if, and when, the use of
scenarios can provide useful and valid market input in the early stages of a new high-tech
product’s development. Consistent with the plans that I discussed in my inaugural speech, we will
also start a new PhD project on branding in new product development. The relationships
between branding and new product development are important but have not been investigated
to a full extent yet. Investigating these relationships is also important as they are core elements
113
12 Product advantage and market acceptance of intelligent products
of our Master on Strategic Product Design (SPD). Therefore, in January, we start a second PhD
project that will build on a soon to be finished graduation project on “co-branding in new product
launch”. We already have a good candidate for this position.
Plans for new collaborations and funding
We will submit the first PhD proposal on scenarios to STW and to the ICT “speerpunt”.
Unilever is likely interested to be the external partner for this project. Prof. Dr. Cees de Bont
(Free University of Amsterdam) will be the second promoter for the Ph.D. project on co-branding.
This project will likely be sponsored by Philips. We plan to use our contacts with Campina for
additional research funds.

Overview of the results
Scientific highlights
Veldhuizen has recently submitted two papers to scientific journals. One paper on the
consequences of market knowledge use in high-tech new product development is now in the
second round of review at the Journal of Product Innovation Management. The other paper on
the antecedents of market knowledge use has been sent out for review to the Journal of
Engineering & Technology Management. Rijsdijk submitted his paper on the development of a
scale to measure product smartness to the A-level Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science
(JAMS). This paper is now in the second round of review. Another conference paper by Rijsdijk
on product smartness dimensions and their interactions was invited to be submitted to JPM. El
Houssi won the price for the best paper based on a doctoral dissertation at EMAC, and got her
next paper accepted for the ACR conference. Both papers address the question whether the use
of analogies in marketing communications is helpful to increase consumer comprehension of a
new high-tech product. Papers by Hultink on market orientation in new product launch got
published or accepted in 2004 in journals such as R&D Management, Journal of Product
Innovation Management, and Industrial Marketing Management. He was also selected to be one

13 Design for healthy environments
DOCUMENTATION ON THE LEVEL OF RESEARCH PROGRAMME 2001-2003
Title
Programme leader
Design for healthy environments
Dr. ir. R.H.M. Goossens
The main focus of the research is on the reduction of the strain on the human body during
professional product use. The emphasis is on the musculo-skeletal system and skin. The
approach entails mathematical modeling, verification experiments on anatomical specimens as
well as healthy subjects and patients. The goal is to generate design requirements for products
so that these do not cause complaints on the musculoskeletal system of the users. The
requirements should anticipate the implementation of these products on a large scale and in
every day activities. One goal of this research is to
obtain insight in problems for the user such as pressure sores, RSI, low back pain, discomfort
and lipoatrophia semicircularis. Understanding the underlying medical aspects of these complaints
and the anatomical deviations of the different users form the basis for biomechanical modeling.
Another focus is on designing products that provide an optimal human-product interaction
necessary to guarantee quality in surgical performance.
1
Strategy and policy
Research subject
The research is concerned with the implementation of a dynamic biomechanical model of the
musculo-skeletal system (Anybody) in body supports and with tools that can be used in the
design process. Another subject is the generation of knowledge and a design approach for
products in minimal invasive surgery, such as tele-operation of products, for situations in which
the product handling and vision of the user are indirect.
Plans for the research focus
The research in minimal invasive surgery is focused on the design of the Surgeons Cockpit,
where a physical as well as an informational interface for surgeons will be created, based on
findings of PhD and research students.
Plans for new collaborations and funding
A grant has recently been awarded from the Catharina Hospital, while an STW application is in
progress. A new collaboration has been set up with project group ESQUIRE of the Erasmus
Medical Center.

14 Dynamic anthropometry
DOCUMENTATION ON THE LEVEL OF RESEARCH PROGRAMME 2001-2003
Title
Programme leader
Dynamic anthropometry
Dr. ir. J.F.M. Molenbroek
This research has a focus on understanding human-product and goal interaction during product
use starting from an anthropometric point of view, emphasizing the wide variance in the
population of users. There is no exclusion of target groups or lifestyles; dependent living elderly
and students with RSI are examples of relevant populations. In many cases understanding and
describing the interaction between man and product cannot be in physical terms only, but require
cognitive and perceptual aspects too. This certainly holds when the dynamics of product usage is
the focus of research. The goal of this research is twofold: first, an analysis of these dynamic
aspects during use; second, development of tools to provide these data to the designer of
everyday products.
1
Strategy and policy
Research subject
The research is dealing the following issues. (1) The causal factors of RSI in terms of user
activities, and how these factors can be neutralized by design. (2) AIS (Anthropometric
Information System). On the basis of mathematical modeling, 1-D and 2-D data can be
‘dynamized’ into 3-D data, including a time axis (4-D). Methods to present the to designers in a
significant and applicable way.(3) Computer based tools and the extent predictions on the basis
of such tools may be biased as a consequence of the way of tool application.(4) Observational
study into the usage of ladders and the study of participatory ergonomics.
Plans for the research focus
The focus is shifting to 3D Photogrammetry of humans in relation to
the development of educational tools for designers. Another possible focus point is to explore our
increasing knowledge on the usage of elderly and handicapped of toilet and hygiene products
through our current (EU-funded) Friendly Rest Room project.
Plans for new collaborations and funding
One of the spinn offs of the European FRR network is the involvement in HYPER, a new
EU-project that will research and develop innovative products in the field of hygiene for elderly
and handicapped. This subsidy will be requested within the 7th framework and together with our
partner CSO from Debrecen, Hungary.

Overview of the results
Scientific highlights
A succesful completion of the EU-GENIE-project: a collaboration of 44 partners in the field of
gerontechnology see www.io.tudelft.nl/research/ergonomics/genie.
A journal paper about this project has been published in 2004. in Gerontechnology.
The start of the Friendly Rest Room project (3 Million Euro), coordinated by Molenbroek and de
Bruin. This project was presented at the conference Include in London in 2003
As a spin-off of the Geron-project (1993-1998), a journal paper about the forces of emergency
doors was published in Applied Ergonomics in 2001, which caused a lot of publicity.
Trough the Delft anthropometric measurements of 2400 children in 1993 the CEN-standard of
school furniture is essential modified on 3 points:
-with a new 7th seat height (for the tall Dutch)
-with another key dimension (popliteal height in stead of stature)
-with a user friendly manual and a simple measuring equipment that explains how the standard
works
This was published also in Applied Ergonomics in January 2003
The DINED-table has lasted 20 years (1982-2002) as a standard for a good estimation of the
anthropometry of Dutch adults; This is also available trough internet for designers on an
interactive way on the website of Dynamic Anthropometry www.dined.nl
Together with TNO a new design has been made in 2003
In 2000 a international group WEAR was founded during the Ergonomics
Conference in SAN DIEGO; the objective of WEAR is to develop a web portal
to show which country has which anthropometry available and to make this
accessible. See http://ovrt.nist.gov/projects/wear/
