Abstract
Background Technologies have led to the formation of a biometric authentication market which is one of the future growth markets. It is, however, necessary to switch to a design-led innovation now. This study proposes a product interaction design methods to develop new life-friendly product concepts, based on users' needs with biometric authentication technology, and the methods are applied to a project to explore possibilities.
Methods This study was conducted through literature review and empirical studies. First of all, through the literature review, the technology acceptance model of biometric authentication technology and the process of accepting new biometric authentication technology were examined. Then, the design methods were proposed from the perspective of technology acceptance. For the empirical study, a project was conducted in the Product Interaction Design class with 3rd and 4th grade students of product design major in 2016 fall semester.
Result In the life-friendly product concept development project, which was focused on human-centered technology acceptance, 28 product concepts were proposed. For the evaluation, the evaluation committee consisted of 10 experts including UX designers, product designers, biometrics certification expert, product planning and marketing specialists. The possibilities and potentials of the proposed methods and the product concepts were discussed.
Conclusion This research proposes specific processes and methods that can be applied to design new life-friendly products which adopt new technologies. The results are expected to be helpful for companies which have competitive technologies but are having difficulty connecting them to people's needs and market growth.
