The medical devices in the masthead above have vastly different purposes. One thing that’s common is they all have some combination of sensory aspects. Sensory design uses affordances (perception of design features intuitively suggesting a functional task) and semantics (conveying meaning and information about the product’s use and function through sensory cues). Both can be communicated through our five senses with the most common being visual, tactile and auditory.
