Revolutionizing product symbols through innovative societal contexts for user acceptance
This paper introduces a new way to analyze and create innovative product symbols. By combining semiotics and product system theory, the researchers studied how product symbols are formed and understood in different contexts. They found that context, like where and how a product is used, is crucial for the meaning of symbols. Using this insight, they developed a method for creating new product symbols that focus on societal values, lifestyle changes, and new ways of using products.
