Abstract: Nowadays, many observing works with regard to their circumstance has become preeminent in design field. From the background, there are many researches about the role and value of observing in design process. However, almost of the research concentrate on only observing the users’ behaviors. Therefore, in this research we discuss how to observe, share with other design team member and apply the observed results to design process more effectively. The purpose of this research is to clarify the following hypothesis: Observing Physical Kansei and Cultural factor based on the Extended ADT model with diverse viewpoints, and visualizing and sharing the observed results. This model does not help only to understand users needs but also to apply the observed results to design process. Therefore, in this research, we discuss 1) the role of observing with diverse viewpoints, 2) the validity of the following three factors, Physical factor Kansei factor, and Cultural factor as the subjects of observing, and 3) the improving to visualize and share the observed results, based on several international design workshop as case studies. As the results, the observation from diverse viewpoints is effective to find out users needs including potential needs which are difficult to be found out through a questionnaire survey. The method to observe Physical Kansei and Cultural factor also helps to understand users situation and needs effectively. Moreover, sharing of the visualized observation results with TTS method becomes to be easy to understand other members thinkings and opinions, and easy to apply the observed results to the design process.
