This study introduces a user-oriented product development method for functional clothing, emphasizing user needs derived from real-world use. This approach complements traditional methods, particularly for high-functionality products.

Area of Science:

  • Product Development
  • Textile Science
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Traditional product development often overlooks specific user needs in practical application.
  • Functional clothing requires a deep understanding of user context and demands.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present and evaluate a user-oriented product development method.
  • To apply this method to functional clothing development.
  • To compare its effectiveness against conventional industry approaches.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical introduction of the user-oriented development method.
  • Application of the method to functional clothing through use-analyses.
  • Case studies involving workwear, elderly clothing, and military attire.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Comparative evaluation of the method and resulting products.

    • Main Results:

    • The user-oriented method effectively derives product demands from user use-situations.
    • Case studies demonstrated successful application in diverse clothing sectors.
    • The method proved complementary to conventional product development strategies.

    Conclusions:

    • User-oriented product development is highly effective for functional clothing.
    • The method enhances product quality by focusing on user needs.
    • It is generalizable to various user groups and human-centric products.
