In this thesis, product experiences were analyzed in human-product interaction context. The terminology to describe product experiences were gathered and grouped with the studies carried out during the thesis. The conceptual network of product experiences were attempted to be established by examining the stages of human-product interaction in the limitations of the studies. The gathered terminology was composed of both concrete and abstract product features. The abstract product features which are used for defining product personality characteristics took part in the lexicon. The lexicon for product experience related communication resulting from the thesis, was used in designed instructional game for Bachelor degree industrial design students, in order to be informed and develop themselves on the subject. Hereby, while the students have fun, they will explore the terminology to use in design communications easily.

A sampling methodology for usability testing of consumer products considering individual differences
Berkman, Ali Emre; Erbuğ, Çiğdem; Department of Industrial Design (2010)
Aim of the study was to discuss and identify individual differences that influence the user performance during usability tests of consumer products that are known to prevent researchers to conduct systematic studies. The rationale behind the study was developing a tool for sampling in order to handle experiential factors as a variable rather than a source of error. The study made it possible to define and elaborate on constructs general interaction expertise (GIE) and general interaction self efficacy (GISE...
A comparative analysis of designers’ intended messages and users’ perceived messages embodied in product appearance
Khalaj, Javad; Pedgley, Owaın Francıs; Department of Industrial Design (2009)
This study discusses product form perception within the context of communication. The emphasis is on meanings attributed to product visual form, and more specifically the correspondence between messages designers intend users to receive and the messages that users actually receive. Four groupings of appearance-based product attributes are identified; 1) social values and positions; 2) usability and interaction; 3) visual qualities; and 4) personality characteristics. The study was driven by the main researc...
Analysis of the narrative constructed around products : a case study on tupperware products
Karademir Arun, Banu; Işık Tüneri, Figen; Department of Industrial Design (2007)
This study primarily aims to examine the ways in which the social and cultural meanings are utilized to construct a narrative around a product. Thus, a narrative analysis is employed by conducting a case study on Tupperware products, mainly due to the recognition that a comprehensive narrative, which is elaborated by social and cultural meanings, is constructed around Tupperware products because of the unique retailing technique.
The emotional reactions of tactual qualities on handheld product experiences
Özcan, Nergis; Gürsu, Hakan; Department of Industrial Design (2008)
This is an attempt to analyze the evaluation criteria of tactual qualities on handheld product experiences by users. The study was conducted with the users selected from different work groups and different ages for exploring the meanings which are attributed to these tactual qualities by them. The thesis is expected to shed a light in the design studies by designers. After identifying the products and the participants, the tactual experiences were analyzed throughout the study to find out the keywords which...
Designing customer demand oriented products: a case study on inner city bus interior design in Man Türkiye A.Ş.
Ant, Mustafa Fırat; Hasdoğan, Gülay Fatma; Department of Industrial Design (2005)
This study examines the customer demand oriented product development in brief and observes it in a case study held in MAN Türkiye A.Ş. through an interior design project of an inner-city bus, to cope with the production problems caused by various customer demands. The author aimed to document and to evaluate the product design process, so as to be used as a formal method in similar design cases, especially by highlighting critical design strategies. Finally a general evaluation of the project, method and th...
