  • Abstract
    Due to the change of social conditions and economical and cultural aspects, user´s expectation has been changed too. Today for users, satisfying the emotional and feeling needs towards products is most important point. The recent human psychological studies suggest that having an experience and good feeling with products is the main factor for making decisions. Hence, designers try to understand those hidden needs of people. In this way, they can make a special kind of user´s satisfaction. During this process, all possible relationships between the user and the product and all factors that are involved in its interaction are analyzed. In the final stage, current technologies, user experiences, feelings and imaginations are applied in designing the product. The present article is about the different ways of involving the user in designing the products in order to open a new window, which causes specific vision and determines the hidden perspectives of the user desire and its environment.
