Sh op at IK EA IKEA was started in 1943 with the objective of selling general merchandise at reduced prices. It has grown to a group with 90,000 employees in 44 countries, selling nearly 10,000 items. It also specializes in providing good quality furniture and household items at very low prices.
IKEA stores are massive, and IKEA savings are equally as massive. Although the stores can get crowded, IKEA tries to keep customer shopping experiences pleasant with free parking and supply kiosks at the entrance with pencils, paper, a store guide, tape measures and catalogs. However, I believe there are more ways to improve shopping experience of customers.
05
O bs er va tio ns In te rv ie w w ith C us to m er s I talked to 32 people at IKEA store including 2 employees
Pros There is a vast selection. There is trendy, affordable dorm furniture/accesories furniture at low prices. Most of people enjoy getting a lot of ideas from walking through, and feel its fun to go from showrooms down to the marketplace while there are also small amount of people don’t like IKEA if they just want one thing. They have to walk through many other sections first. There is an in-store restaurant for quick, healthy eats at low prices. The merchandise is clearly priced. The staff does not bother customers, yet they are available to assist if asked.
Cons A vast selection of style and color furniture and accessories make customers hesitate to make decision. People(mostly girls) sometimes like to go to the store and choose a style of a furniture they like before measuring for the correct size. Most experienced people go back to the store several times before finishing the whole process. Searching for products between floors is confusing sometimes. It is inconvenient for customers to write down product details such as: article number, product name, color and aisle locations. Customers can not feel the texture of items when shopping on-line.
On-line ordering is available. 07
Pr ob le m st at em en t & Hy po th es is Problem statement Design a device which helps IKEA shoppers avoid purchasing mistakes, plan their furniture arrangements prior to purchasing items, and obtain product Information more conveniently.
Hypothesis If shoppers have a device that allows them to record a product's information and have a preview of what their space will look like with their new furniture, they can save time and energy when shopping at IKEA and have a better shopping experience.

Pe rso na s
“Every time I move to a new place, I feel I would have to spend ten years to arrange my furniture and feel confident about it. I like beautiful and modern furniture, but I have a problem arranging it in one room. I always choose the pieces of furniture that look appealing to me, but after purchasing them, I always feel frustrated putting them in one environment because they don't look good together. As a result, I just buy as little as possible.”
“Over the past few months, I have been renovating a property and was not able to put in the dining table after I realized that is was far too large for what was required. It took me twenty days to finally get the table I wanted, which was very time consuming.”
“It is hard for me to make my room layout. I need to know how to make more space. I want to buy a new desk and put it next to my bed, but I don't know if I have enough room to do it. It would be nice if I could have a preview of what my furniture arrangement will look like.”
11
De sig n re qu ire m en ts Users can create/ using pre-set layouts of their space easily and have options to add basic room features such as windows and doors to get a preview of what the interior will look like before they buy any furniture. Users can change the size, color, and texture of furniture in a room layout.
Users can pay for merchandise by self check with the device's. Users can save files of their room layouts and/or what they purchased. It is portable and can be hung on a User's' neck, arm or shopping bag.
Users can manipulate the position of furniture and have a 2D or 3D view of a room. The device can be used to scan the tags attached to IKEA merchandise, allowing customers to get product details including article number, product name, color and product location in the pickup aisle.
