2. You can grade any experience on all the “Five Senses” because they help us exploit the world around us.
3. What are the Five Senses?
4. Sight Touch Smell Hearing Taste
5. Sight: Researches, Inspirations, visually creating ideas and the ui. Touch: Physical things that give you inspiration to design. Smell: perceive, observe 5% Hearing: Comments and feedbacks. Taste: The total satisfaction after using a product.
6. How do they Influence Design?
7. When it comes to designing, the five senses (sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell) collaborate closely in a travel and meeting experience.
8. Users can be asked to review the applications under test and map them on a scale of 1-10 on all five senses. The wider the area covered, the better the experience.
9. The Flow example in the next slide describes a user’s experience when he was using (learning) the app `X` for the first time.
11. The Feature example below shows how the user felt about `Seen` feature on Facebook Chat window.
13. Five senses theory has its limitations too: - All senses may not be applicable for all people. For some specially abled people, they may not even be able to hear or see. - For some products, all senses may not be applicable. For example, how do you rate my presentation for taste using this theory?
14. In conclusion
15. Despite its drawbacks, Five Senses Theory is a good technique to understand how products can be designed by cracking into the pulse of users.
