Affective

 

To make people happy

 

When do you become happy ?

When you drive Ferrari?

When you ware Bvlgari?

When stock price rises and your corporate value is heightened?

 

or

 

When you find beautiful flower?

When a person next to you smiles?

When somebody says, "Thank you" to you ?

 

We believe that, ultimately,people become happy

when they have something to love nearby,

when they have warm connection with somebody else,or

when they are given hearty care hospitality.

 

Affection = a feeling of gentle love and caring

 

In psychology,the word affect represents

people's mental statessuch as emotion, feeling and mood.

Dont you think that people will be happy

if the experiences of using technology,

having products and services,and

communicating with others

result in positive feelings in their mind?

 

The word affect has another meaning:

to give influence on somebody.

When a person has happy feeling,

don't you think that the person is also likely to

give positive influences on

mind,life, and work of other people nearby?

 

We wnat to make people happier

by pursuing the ideal form of

affective technology,

affective quality,

afective design,

affective communication, and

affective service.
