Affordance Conditions of Product Parts in User-Product Interaction
- BusinessHCI
- 2009
The results show that affordances for functionality should not only be perceptible, but also should be lucid for users in user-product interactions; the evidence presented by other comprehensive perceptual information and conventional layouts can deal with affordances being hidden in interfaces of a product.
THE AFFORDANCE CONCEPT IN USER-COMPUTER INTERACTION
- Art
- 2014
The results show that the users could perceive affordances for operability presented by the virtual buttons, and could intuitively understand which operations were appropriate based on the size of each button.
Applicability of affordance concept in user-computer interaction
- Computer Science2012 7th International Conference on Computing and Convergence Technology (ICCCT)
- 2012
The results show that the users could perceive directly the affordances presented by thevirtual button by looking at them and approximately know what sizes of the virtual button are appropriate for usability.
An Investigation of Function Based Design Considering Affordances in Conceptual Design of Mechanical Movement
- ArtHCI
- 2009
A model is proposed that attempts to incorporate the concept of affordances to function based design in conceptual design of mechanical movement and demonstrates how affordances can support in the divergent and convergent design activities.
Perceiving and Interacting Affordances: A New Model of Human–Affordance Interactions
- Psychology, BusinessIntegrative psychological & behavioral science
- 2013
A new affordance framework for humans and human design is introduced based on previous important concepts in product design–affordance, signifier, and product semantics and proposes three new concepts to illustrate how people perceive affordance.
1 THE ROLE OF ACTIONS IN USER-PRODUCT INTERACTION
- Computer Science
- 2007
It is proposed that there are at least three types of intended actions, namely, functional action, operational action, and emotional action, which are made possible by the supporting physical structure of products to fulfill users’ requirements on different interactive level.
PERCEIVING AFFORDANCES THROUGH PERCEPTUAL INFORMATION
- Business
- 2007
The purpose of this study was to explore how users perceive the affordances of an object from specific operation tasks. These affordances can be specified in terms of perceptual information. To this…
An Affordance‐Based Methodology for Package Design
- Business
- 2015
This work proposes a method by which packaging designers can purposefully consider affordances during the design process and explains this method in the context of a packaging-related case study, and measures the effect on package usability when an affordance-based design approach is employed.

This dissertation discusses human-computer interaction, and the role of user interfaces in use and design from the point-of-view of human activity theory, to suggest that a computer application, from the user's perspective, is not something that the user operates on but something thatThe user operates through on other objects or subjects.
