Abstract

This research explores the humanoid facial design through Eyes-Mouth Features (EMF) as an indication of human embodied consciousness design. The study will be focused on portraying the practical model based on the syntax context focusing on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) based design development. This design integrates the value of appealing sensations that can trigger the feelings and impressions of the child with ASD. It is critical to developing an effective decision support system for designers to deal with challenges relating to consumers' psychological preferences towards a humanoid facial character that appeals to human emotion.
