PROJECT1 Interaction Design 12/09/2014 With Xiyu Wang & Di Lin Personal project
Tourists were always excited about trying local dishes,but often got frustrated because of several reasons. As one of them, I decided to do something to help them and me !
BACKGROUND DISCRIPTIONS
TASTYCHINA As we all know,China is famous for it’s variety of local tasty cuisine . These dishes also contribute to increase the number of travelers each year,whether they are dominant or abroad.
COMPLAINS BY CHINESE To most travellers,tasting local dishes would be one of the must-to-do events when travelling.However they are annoyed by some of these problems.
# I cannot find the real local delicicies.! # I am tired of these unhealthy junkfood ! # I do not know what and where to eat ! # Food in restaurants are very expensive!
THAT’S WHY
Travelers need more specific information about traffic guidence leading to local delicious . Travelers need more useful advices on what to eat of local dishes when travelling outside . Travelers need to be aware of the taste of local dishes in advence before travelling to there.

Though the dishes in hotels is more delicious, but they just leave me an impression that tastes in all hotels are alike. And I want something different.
I do want to taste the real local delicies, but I don’t know what the real taste should be for local delicies! However, I believe in the natives’ suggestions.
“
“
I don’t believe in comments in apps or online. Because the people might be hired by the restaurents! And I couldn’t get useful information from those comments.

WHAT’ S PAINFUL
FOOd All-About
LOCAL TASTY New
TASTY
PAINPOINTS #01:INDISTINCT-COMMENTS Comments on apps or web do not describe the dish in details . People don’t know whether these dishes are delicious or not . #02:INCOMPLETE-DESCRIPTION Usually, key information about the flavor, appearance and price of a dish are ignored and make travelers frustrated all the time . #03:UNKNOW-FLAVOR The flavor of a dish won’t be known until its served,so it may be too late to regret if the taste is not suitable for travelers .
THE BRAIN STORMING
DESIGN WITH WHICH TOOLS ? ,
We also discussed about the possible way to achieve our goals , and finally, we decided to creat an exterior equi uipment to help .
1
SERVICES IN HOTEL Almost every tourists will live in an hotel when traveling , where service can be provided conveniently &costless.
2
ON THE SMARTPHONE Smartphone has been part of necessities to people in morden life. And people like using apps to do everything
3
USE PUBLIC FACILITY Tourists will spend their day time outside. There may be a kind of public facility to offer them some guidence .
FINALCONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
HOW TO INTRODUCE A DISH CLEARLY AND ATTRACTIVELY TOO? After choosing mobile phone APPS and related peripheral equipments as design carrier, then we found People rely on therir organs to receive info rmation,but now they just use eye to collect information,w hich is not enough .
VISUAL OF SENSE Eyes are usually used to see the color and the appearance of a dish,and this organ will still be needed and important .
SMELL OF SENSE
HEARING OF SENSE
When having meals,people depend on their nose to tell them if a dish is delicious , it is an important organ !
On some occasions,people will decide whether to try a local dish or not ,which based on the opinions of others!
