Abstract: Kansei engineering is the newly proposed engineering discipline having a novel and unique goal. While its aim has been considered, from the beginning, to construct methodology and technology capable of providing industrial products and services reflecting user's personal preference/requirement and being evaluated by satisfaction of users, its role is now growing up to consider a new leaf of more fundamental technical issues on Kansei informatics or human-computer interactions toward realising safety and pleasantness of individuals, which will be considered to be a most important fundamental problem in the coming information network society. In this paper, we try to describe an overview of Kansei engineering referring to biometrics. The contents include the background, objectives, present status, and present technical topics of Kansei engineering, where we also introduce concrete examples of developing researches. Future developments are also discussed.
