Designing by Doing:
Product Design Project
Multi-Sensory Design Approach
Inspiration
«… we collect information from the world around us through all of our senses. Once this information is processed in parts of our body, we create an “embodied experience” of the world around us. How we structure and interpret this information determines how we perceive reality. This process of prioritizing and interpreting is more than just a cognitive process. Input from different parts of our body evoke different sensations, some of which we are consciously unaware of or unable to control.»
- Frederik Duerinck
