Holistic design : Cumulation of sensory contributions : Segregation or integration ; Perceptual conflicts -- The choice of customer-effective strategies : Assistance in decisions-making ; Examples of application ; Human-computer interaction -- Elementary forms : Basic forms of perception ; Elementary design -- Visualization of noise and music : Artistic and technical visualization ; Musical notation, graphics, and film -- Perception and emotion -- Future perspectives of synesthetic design : Design with all senses: for the senses ; Robustness ; Sustainability
Summary Synesthetic design strives to develop products that systematically incorporate all five senses. In future, the current wealth of medical technical insights in psychology, physiology, motor functions, and neurology and the development of innovative materials with astonishing new properties will open up almost unlimited opportunities for the designer's creativity. Haverkamp brings together for the first time precisely those aspects of this fundamental knowledge that are specifically relevant for designers. The result is a book that offers designers of all schools a clear and well-organized pract
