You are invited to the 4th international Conference on Designing Pleasurable Products and Interfaces (DPPI) that will be held in Compiegne, France, from 13rd to 16th of October 2009.
DPPI09 adresses a special focus on FuTURN Innovation, the ground for co-emergence of experiences and technologies.
The rationalization of the means for design and production leading to a relative standardisation of the products on the market, the sharp competition between the mature companies exhorts to take into account the aspects linked to the perceptions of the final users and to turn innovation into a more experiential approach to human-product interaction.
The scientific community taking part in this conference is a compilation of research experts from multidisciplinary backgrounds, i.e., the Industrial Design and Engineering Design as well as the Human Sciences. Its focus is on the exploration of the innovation processes through an experiential approach, inspired and ignited by the challenges of human comprehension.
The integration of their different approaches through a common ground, design, is quintessential to its undertaking.
