Abstract:- The notion of affordability has evolved into one of the most essential concepts in promoting user-product engagement, and it has several definitions in design. In this article, affordances are defined as a product's -ability. Designers should make certain affordances for user-product interaction visible on purpose. As a result, the goal of this work is to investigate how affordances might be provided in various situations, such as visible, concealed, and false, and to suggest an analysis process of affordance condition for user-product interaction. The affordance condition analysis technique consists of four phases, which are as follows: 1) Task analysis, 2) Affordance analysis, 3) Perceptual information analysis, and 4) Affordance-information analysis are the four types of analysis. Furthermore, a method of assessing product parts' needed affordances for user-product interaction is given in the technique.
