Sensory Design, New but Old Concept


Different people have different reactions to different stimuli. However, there are some general trends in how people react to different types of sensory input. For example, most people tend to find visual input more stimulating than auditory input. This is why many people prefer to watch television or movies rather than listen to music.



There are a variety of ways to use this knowledge of human reaction to sensory input in order to create more effective designs. One way is to use a combination of different types of sensory input in order to create a more stimulating environment. For example, many video games use a combination of visual and auditory input in order to create an immersive and exciting experience.


Another way to use this knowledge is to create designs that are specifically tailored to the needs of certain groups of people. For example, many schools and hospitals use sensory-friendly design principles in order to create environments that are less stressful for people with autism or other sensory processing disorders.


There are a number of different ways to incorporate sensory design principles into your own life. One way is to simply be aware of the different ways that people react to different types of sensory input. This can help you to make more informed choices about the types of activities you participate in and the types of environments you put yourself in.



Another way to incorporate sensory design principles into your life is to specifically seek out environments that are designed to be stimulating and enjoyable. For example, many amusement parks and museums use sensory-friendly design principles in order to create environments that are enjoyable for all visitors.



Ultimately, the best way to incorporate sensory design principles into your life is to experiment and find what works best for you. Everyone is different and will have different reactions to different types of sensory input. By experiment with different types of sensory input, you can find the combination of stimuli that works best for you and that you enjoy the most.
