BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Chia-Hsiu is passionate on exploring �Human�, including how people act, how people think and also how to transfer the needs to a better design. Driven by her enthusiasm and curiosity, she has bachelor degrees of Business Administration and Psychology for. Following the academic background and interests, she is studying Industrial Design for master degree. She aims to become a multidisciplinary specialist, who works on combining the core values from different professions. Her goal is to become a practical researcher on observing and planning the strategies based on design perspective for various organizations to individuals.

This portfolio is organized with three chapters, which are Ocean, Sun and Mountain. The ocean expresses the wide and systemic range of design, from product to user experience and service design research. The sun explains the innovation in design discipline. Using processing program as prototyping tool is the first step to vivid realizing design through technology. Lastly, mountain represents the height that design can be.

Design can not only brings us to innovation, design can also bring us to stand on the giants shoulder to use the past knowledge and think for the future.

DESIGN BACKFROUND Smart healthcare devices brought the new possibilitiesfor people with and without chronic disease to record, monitor, and improve the personal health health.

However, the current devices don t provide ample capability to understandthe users needs. The process of collecting data through the sensors do not necessarily require users to engage in the process. Thus, the users lose the chance to further reďŹ&#x201A;ect on their own health status for long-term usage.

Long-term Usage

RESEARCH PROCESS Data-enabled design (DeD) methodology (Janne and Bogers, 2019) enables design researchers to use data as a creative design material to investigate the new design interventions for the intelligent ecosystems. Notably, data, including qualitative data and sensor data, is deemed as the main player of design materials to constantly improve the prototypes for designers (p.251).

Furthermore, being exploratory is one of the main mindset in DeD, which referred that prototyping as vehicle for inquiring .

The participants have used diverse tools, which they

may feel most convinient and easy to use for recording their health data daily, including writing, texting to friends, audio or video recording, drawing, etc.

The data has been analyzed and clustered through thematic analysis methodology.

7 categories related to their health and lifestyle are identified from the records, which are also validated with the academic papers.

In the contextual step, the researcher focuses on

Talki Talkie is anelderly healthy eating project, which are included among a product-service system that explores the needs of the elderly healthy eating in caring home ecosystems.

The contextual design approach has been deployed to build up the first concept theoretically. Following with the evidence we found through the validations with the elderly, we applied service design approach to collect qualitative data from stakeholders, including the food company and the caretakers to build up service blueprint. The design process comprises two phases.

The first phase represents the definition of the project scope through contextual design including the first and second design concepts around meal co-creation. The second phase is mainly focused on design, including interaction, CUI and technology.

Through the iterations, we built up our interactive prototype and voice agent, which aims to improve the communication of elderly with the other stakeholders in their eating process. After validations, we gained the insights of the elderly that they require a platform to transfer their opinion and look forward to the feedback.

CONTEXTUAL INQUIRY

The rise of aging population and the lower Quality of Life (QOL)

Aging population is a phenomenon occurring all over the world, in the Netherlands is expected to be around 4,6 million elderly in 2040 (PBL, 2013). This rise concerns the caregiving industry and the elderly s daily quality of life (QoL).

Empowering the elderly through choose their own food and gain the authority

21

A variety of eating problems amongst older adults is one of the causes for the elderly s greater dependency on caring staďŹ&#x20AC;. In order to provide quality of care, empowering care has been researched beneďŹ cial, making sure older adults keep in control of their lives and so increase their QOL (Tu, Wang, & Yeh, 2006).

It is an increasing trend that lonely elders live alone, especially in Asia society.

However, the solution has still been tested and many experts try to figure out various supports for them. The project, Easybox, aimed to create a product-service design, benefiting for volunteers and also the elders.

In addition, we cooperated with community, located in Tainan city, Taiwan. Firstly, we visited the community few times and discovered some residents faced inconvenience while they were volunteers for helping lonely elders. When they collected the remaining food from children s lunch in elementary school, they felt time-consuming and energy-wasting.

29

As a result, we followed the process, analyzed the problems and designed a new service design. The design includes a product, easy box, with app as well as a whole new working process.

Easybox is volunteers best friend for packaging left overs, efficiently classifying meal and managing the flow. It is a result-oriented product service system, composing of lunch boxes in different colors and an easy box app. Thought color classification and flow management, easybox helps volunteers eliminate physical pains from the works and complete their packaging job.

Ruhig Lamp

Interactive story lamp for children and parents Category ¦ Lighting Date ¦ 2017 Output ¦ Functional Portotype Material ¦ Wood, Arduino, Cardbroad

In the society today, parents get less time to accompny their children. According to the research, 20% of parents spend no time at all reading with their primary school aged children; 54% of parents spends less than an hour a week reading to their kids. Since reading to children activates various function of children, American Academic Pediatrics strongly suggests that parents should read to children.

This project, Ruhig Lamp, wants to cultivate the habbits

between parents and children. Firstly, the lamp box consists four paragarph of a story and becomes a short story.

Also, parents can tell the stories by different volumns, which will change the brightness of the light. Secondly, children and parents can cooperte together to play shadow game. In addition, there are various colors of light. Due to different content of the stories, the light will change steadily.

Ideation

Initial Ideas

In the beginning, I came up with an idea to create something for children. I was thinking through all day schedule during my childhood. The bedtime of listening stories from records inspiring me a lot. In addition, I built up very strong connection with my sibilings during the time we listened the stories together. Thus, I believe the power of storytelling, especially in the childhood period. These are my first thought of creating this work.

Current Research

After doing more research,I found to tell story in the bed time really help the development of children. From cognitive, motor, creativity , to speech and communication development, by talking and interacting with parents is able to help children graw up benefitting from various perspectives. To be more specific, firstly, with reading loudly, children have higher possibility to have school scuccess. Secondly, young children may amplify the language they hear more than just talking

45

Telling story is also similar to a kind of performance.

How do I want to present the performance ?There are several ways of telling the stories, such as listening to the radio, talking by parents, creating stories with intimate people. All of above include some common features. Firstly, there is sound. Secondly, people tell story . Following the two directions, how can they both interact and play with the stories vividly? Before sleeping, parents normally leave some weak light for children. Under the light, it will be the best moment for them to have fun together.

By using the skill of paper cutting, I tried to use the light to show the shadow. As a result, parents and children play not only with the box, but interactive with the shadow.

Prototyp to try the size and the effect of light At first, I designed four layers of wood, since more levels can create different strong effect of the light. Hoever, after testing, the effect of shadow projecting was not as good as look on the product self.

I used different materiasl of paper to lazer the frame as well as make the holes and the empty place for the light to go through. The inner layer of the paper is thinner, which will help the light go through; in the contrast, the outside paper is thicker, which seems like a frame for the whole box.

46

Connecting devices with Arduino The lamp has several functions working by Arduino. Firstly, the touch bar. By touching the touch bar, light will change the color. With trying to work approprately, I tried many methods to make the screen work smoothly.

Also, I use microphone to take the sound from the user. I also tried various types of micrphones. Fianlly, the one in the product is the best for accepting the sounds.

47

Our values affect the way we think the partners we choose and ultimately the results we are getting in life. The main benefit of knowing and understanding our core values is to improve the results we are getting in those areas that are truly most important to us. We can use them as a reliable navigation system for our life moving closer to the values that best serve us, and away from the ones that are not serving us so well. When we know our core values, the task of setting goals that intuitively resonate becomes a lot easier.

This game is designed for people to experience whole life in a short time.

Since a good way to understand yourself could be learning in different phases of life, I decide to use the concept of reading a novel to let the player experiecne the uncertainty and unpredictable life.There are seven core values in your life, so players can pick up the values they believe to see what may happen in this choice.

61

Initiation of the Idea In the beginning of the project, I want to apply proceesing program on exploring ourself, which may be related to our emotion, our belief in life or how do we perceive ourself in daily life. I have explored the topic from Stree , Self , to Life . Finally, I found that to understand how may your life go is the can be the first step for everyone to start an exploration about yourslef.

Ultimately, understanding our values helps us make choices, goals and decisions that are best suited for our personal success and happiness. I believe, we should frequently ask ourselves what things are important to us and we should live our lives according to those things.

Story Development

You cannot connect the dots looking forwaed , you can only

connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.

--- Steve Jobs

Then I start to think how can I let people experience and think deeper about their life meaning in short time.

What came to my mind is the experience of reading a novel. A good novel always can let a reader immerse into the emotion, which created by writer intentionally. After reading the story, the reader will feel she finished a new journey of life. Then, she will start to think deeper about what the writer want to say.

So, in this project, I want to design an interavtive game with players. Through the process, they can create a new story by selecting the values they believe in different life stages.

You never know what s going to happen in your life. However, you still have to choice one option for the next step.

In this diagram, I devide life into six stages.

From 18 to 78, each 10 years presents a phrase of age. In addition, I pick up seven core values and seperate them into two categories, including internal and external . Furthermore, I write few stories, which fit in different ages and follow the core value as well.

Except the visualized effect design, I also put the sounds into each sentence, which can express the possible context, which I set for every column.

Meaning of Objects Box Box means the limitation in our life.

Everyone is borned in very different backgorund, with various characteristics, or different talents. After the player enter to the box, the game starts.

Ball

Various balls in the box represents all options which the players may face in their life.

No matter the player choose or not, there are still options, which they have to choose.

Description and Sounds After the players enter the ball, they will see different contents. These contents will appear with sounds differently due to different values and ages.

66

Sound Effects

In addition to the sounds I collected from youtube open source, I also record the guiding sounds, which tell players about the rules in this game.

Furthermore, I used the simplified online mixer system to create the sounds.

Ball Effects

Since I tried to create some abstract feeling, the scenerios would seem like to be in the space.

Also, the sound that happen will be similar as some sounds from fiction movies.

Therefore, I want to make some glowing balls.

However, the effect is hard to present in 3D environment in processing. I have tried several methods.

Game Process Player will be guided by the sound and enter to the box.

Game starts.

Go through a tunnel and back to the box.

After entering to the box, the player will see balls with seven colors and some balls without colors. The value will also rotate around the ball. Click a ball to enter.

After going through 6 diďŹ&#x20AC;erent life stages, the balls which are selected by players will be connected together. The sounds in each ball will be played orderly.

After entering to a ball, the text will appear with shaking. The player needs to clickand make the words become a line.

Sound will appear in the same time. Click the box to leave.

Finally, all balls will be formed as a new constellation. The process aims to let the player review what kinds of values they choosed, what they have experienced.

The aim of the curation is to organize the history of fiber and dying in Taiwan. By understanding the history of Taiwan, people will realize that both fiber and dying are essential ingredients from our daily life to trading goods.

Research and Data Collecting for Fiber and Dying Chronology During the time, we collected literature as more as possible to present the chronology of fiber and dying in Taiwan since 1990.

We categorized the data into the four categorises, including history, government, policy, non-government. From the context, we figured out many surprising stories and history.

Following the contexual discovery, we visualized the details of basic information for transmitting more

LoT works like a normal library but instead of just books, all kind of tools and products can be rented. In order to make the LoT user-friendly, it will be integrated into the current book rental system of NCKU. Some tools will not be allowed to leave the LoT work area, but can be used under the supervision of LoT staff in the LoT work room. In order to utilize the many resources spread across NCKU campus, the LoT will also provide information about tools housed in certain departments which can be reserved for use under supervision of that department.

Such a service will allow current resources to be Through sharing, less products are needed and less waste is created. Sharing optimizes the usage of a product and may be the best way to achieve a recycling circle as described in Circular Economy. LoT will become a non-profit organization within NCKU with the goal of increasing campus sustainability while reducing living costs for students.

Facility There is a opportunity to rethink and redesign the way we make stuff. The circular economy tries to build a restorative economy with creativity and innovation.

In this project, we set up a goal of doing something related to circular economy.

There are several students coming from variuos departments trying to figure out a better plan. We generated several ideas to accomplissh the goal of planning. Finally, we picked up Libruary of Things as our main topic to discuss on.
