NEW HOME ESCORT SERVICE DESIGN PROJECT

House renova�on is a �me-consuming , mul�-step and messy job . Almost every homeowner who buys a house will face the challenge of renova�ng the house . At the same �me , due to the lack of knowledge of the decora�on and the situa�ons where the skills of the workers do not match what the decora�on companies say in their adver�sement , trouble is sure to emerge . In view of this situa�on , I have established a service pla�orm that provides integrated decora�on services .

INDIVIDUAL PROECT July - August , 2019

BACKGROUND

QUESTIONNAIRE Friend’s introduc�on Internet

For the home owners who are in contact with the renova�on for the first �me , they should try hard in doing inves�ga�on , looking for a decora�on company, and purchasing building materials . In addi�on to listening to the opinions of friends around them , they also need to read magazines or look for relevant case materials online and do market research . And they need to get a closer look at the details of each area . It takes a lot of time and effort for the owner to decorate a house , which may affect the work of the homeowner . A slight mistake may result in financial loss .

A�racted by the decora�on company's low-cost package , such as the 888-yuan-package and the 999-yuan-package . The all-inclusive price is not the ﬁnal price . Due to the lack of communica�on in the previous plan , subsequent changes occur , which result in addi�onal items

The demoli�on of the wall does not include the removal of the batch layer , you have to pay addi�onal money .

Background

Target User Research

healthy diet is one of the most potent interven�on factors that aﬀect human health and the sustainable development of the earth. At this stage, the food produc�on system and the earth's ecology are facing enormous challenges A

About one-fi�h of the world's land acidifica�on and four-fi�hs of eutrophica�on is caused by food produc�on

QUESTIONNAIRE The ques�onnaire was distributed through website

Three-tenths of the total greenhouse gas emissions are generated by the food supply chain .

Q 5: Where do you usually use VR systems？

It is diﬃcult to show all the relevant informa�on about the food supply chain because of the various assessing standards, stakeholders, and complex process. VR is a challenging media to convey informa�on because of the unfamiliar interac�ve ways and uncomfortable user experience.

Can you tell us a bit about yourself? How did you get started with Virtual Reality? How long have you been crea�ng VR works? What is your professional background? Do you think your background inﬂuences your VR works? If so, how does your background inﬂuence your VR works? What do you think that dis�nguishes VR from tradi�onal digital media (for PC and mobiles)? What do you think are the essen�al ingredients for a successful VR product? what tools do you use to conceptualise, ideate, prototype and/or develop your work? What do you think is the most important in the process of designing a VR product？Could you describe more about your design process? What kind of challenges you had in the process of developing the Virtual Reality “Project”, and what solu�ons did you come up with? What do you normally do when you need to present informa�on in VR, such as data or facts?

Prototype 1, in the content of processing and retail, did not give people more informa�on and even make people more confused.

Prototype 1 and Prototype 2 are both convey the informa�on and data eﬀec�vely. However, prototype 2 can convey more details about each stage than prototype 1.

Prototype 2, in the content of processing and transport, did not give people more informa�on and even make people more confused.

Prototype 2 performs be�er in showing data and details of each stage of supply chian

Prototype 1 performs be�er on delivering the total data of greenhouse gas emissions of beef and cheese.

Prototype 1 and Prototype 2 are both convey the informa�on the emission for beef is larger than cheese successfully.

At present, people’s awareness of the food supply chain and relevant greenhouse gas emissions is at a low stage and even misunderstanding of some stages.

Prototype 1 and Prototype 2 are both sa�sfy the aim of the project.

To convey the informa�on of beef carbon footprint to people.

To combine the prototype 1 and prototype 2, then to make the total data and each stage of data more clear.

To tell which stage accounts for the most percentage of greenhouse gas emission in the food supply chain

Although the prototype convey the informa�on eﬀec�vely, but it s�ll need to be improved, especially for the processing, transport and retail. We need more clear instruc�ons to dis�nguish the diﬀerences between each other

The picture of the prototype 1 is not clear because of the screenshot, and the prototype 1 make them confused. Prototype 2 is easier to convey informa�on and data than prototype1 Prototype 1 is clear to compare the total greenhouse gas emissions between cheese and beef, but prototype 2 is clear to compare the data of each stage of the food supply chain and relevant informa�on. The prototype has a stronger sense of experience, and the data of the second one is easier to understand. For users who o�en play games, prototype 1 is more acceptable than the people who do not have too much experience on game. For prototype 1, they rarely no�ced the height of the s-curve, the colour contrast, and the number and colour contrast of the cloud (smoke) without any reminding. A�er promp�ng, the eﬀect is be�er. They think prototype 1 has a strong experience than prototype 2 (block). One person also said she can pay a�en�on to more details, such as the number of the cloud and the colour because of the experience of playing steam games.

Result The interface of Prototype 2 is clear and easy to use, which is more acceptable for most people. The prototype of 1 has more details and strong interac�on, some of the testers think it is interes�ng. But the prototype 1 is not suitable for the public

Introduction

Frame The Design Challenge Problem identification

Background Air pollu�on is caused by people pursuing speciﬁc goals (Groot, 1967). For example: Fast transporta�on chains Economic globaliza�on Comfortable hea�ng systems

Urban air pollu�on is mainly caused by burning fuel. Long-term exposure to high-level air pollu�on can cause diﬀerent degrees of damage to the human body. (Majid Ezza�, Alan D. Lopez, 2004)

For example:

“

Air pollu�on has become worse and worse which cause a nega�ve impact on either people's health or living environments, such as climate, water and farming.

”

The important aspects of the context or constraints It is diﬃcult to change the lifestyle of the public. How to enhance public educa�on and change or subvert the living habit of ordinary people impercep�bly needs to be considered. Some phenomena have been insighted that

Mild damage--eye irrita�on Then--irreversible physiological damage Severe damage--death The awareness of the public about air pollu�on is much lower than the actual air pollu�on value (Groot, 1967).

The sustainable development aims are related to the health, and the health is inﬂuenced by society and environment (WHO, 2018).

Aim The purpose of this project is to help people realize the dangers of air pollu�on and take ac�ons to reduce the damage caused by air pollu�on to the body. At the same �me, the public should prevent the aggrava�on of air pollu�on according to simple, eﬀec�ve and sustainable strategies.

Insight

How to convey the impact of air pollu�on to the public in an eﬀec�ve way instead of using pure words. In the short term, how to show the outcomes to the public. How to balance economic factors and environmental costs

1. Environmental issues are not one of the most urgent issues in daily life 2. People know about air pollu�on, but they have no clear concept of the meaning of the air quality index 3.The percep�on of air pollu�on and energy consump�on is one-sided Moreover, adults with children under the age of 18 are more concerned about the damage caused by air pollu�on than people in other age groups, such as the elderly(Groot, 1967). Besides, the problem of health has the most possible to inspire the public a�en�on to air pollu�on(Groot, 1967). In addi�on, Children are vulnerable in an air-polluted environment, which will have a great nega�ve impact on them (WHO, 2018). Thus, children are one of the target user because they are more likely to be inﬂuenced by the air pollutants than other people.

When no one passes by the device, the product is in sleep mode to save energy. Because the cloud above is a mirror LED screen, it is reflec�ve. Therefore, when the device is installed, it can face the direc�on of sunrise or sunset, and the sunrise or sunset picture can be reflected on it. At the same �me, this also reflects the air quality. The reason is that when the air quality is good and there are few par�cles, the sunlight can be reflected on the screen.

BEFORE

College students have more free �me, and they will go on picnics with their families during the holidays to enhance their rela�onships. Picnics are usually organized by two or three families.

Food should be pickled in advance

As students, due to lack of life experience, they may have diﬃcul�es in controlling the quan�ty of barbecue ingredients prepared, which will lead to a waste of food.

Find the right place and weather

Most of families choose to have a charcoal barbecue on the beach.

AT THE PICNIC

They will buy be�er quality picnic tools which is suitable for mul�ple use.

Smoke Windy Poor stability The area that can be barbecued is small AFTER Garbage disposal Cleaning of grill Carbon genera�on

Problem defina�on 1. When purchasing barbecue ingredients and tools, it is difficult to determine the quan�ty and type. Unfamiliarity with the produc�on process can also cause uncertainty. 2. During barbecue, it takes a long �me to ignite the charcoal fire outdoors, and a�er using it, the treatment of the charcoal fire is more troublesome. 3. The fire at the barbecue is difficult to control and the food is easy to scorch. 4. Food materials are easy to deteriorate. 5. Use disposable tableware. 6. The oven is not portable. 7. The oven is unstable. 8. Difficult to clean the oven. 9. Food is in short supply.
