App Design | 2017 Sep. to Dec. The Join APP is an app designed for Innovation conferences. It allows users to perform real-time voiceto-text, and remarks in a collaborative manner during a meeting, reducing the work load to organize meeting minutes. And simple and complex versions can be selected to meet the different needs.

Pain Point Analysis
1. It is hard for the recorder to consider others' ideas and to work out good ideas while taking notes.
Someone most familiar with the content / The junior ones. What difficulties are there while taking note? Sometimes it is hard to keep up with others while taking notes. The importance of the meeting minutes? Useful when arranging further workďźŒdoublechecking and project reviewing.
2. Most minutes include only the final decision, while the process and some deserted ideas are also important.
in-person
Key Insights
Requirements 1. Draw clear conclusions quickly
1. Sufficient discussion 2. Keep everyone active
2. The meeting minute should include clear conclusions
3. The meeting minute should include process as well as the final decision

It also allows you to keep in touch with your friends in the quietest way. Allow you to feel the quiet but tacit heart-to-peer communication with friends, without depriving each other of their own space.
Behavior Observation
What do people do when they are alone?
Background Human beings are species that rely heavily on group life, but modern lifestyles give us more and more opportunities to be alone.
The BBC Loneliness Experiment The Loneliness Experiment was a study conducted by BBC Radio 4’s All in the Mind. More than 55,000 people aged 16 years and over took part in the study - making it the largest-ever study into the issue of loneliness.
When gregariousness cannot be met in the present, people naturally feel lonely. Look at the phone repeatedly, even if there is no important information
What is loneliness about?
It’s more about feeling disconnected from the world and not having anyone to understand you.
Only 1/3 believes that loneliness is about being on your own.
People in the survey who said they feel lonely 'often' or 'very often'
40%

Levels of loneliness were highest in younger respondents aged between 16 to 24, with 40% feeling lonely.
Even if they are always using social networks, they will still feel disconnected
It is hard to stop gaining instant gratification, though they never really feel satisfied.
Once stop browsing the social media, they feel empty and anxious.

"Speak" to the ear of another monkey, its "heart rate" will become the same. So that the heartbeat can be passed on...
When "heard' the light change frequency of the out side, it will imitate it.
After holding the monkey's ear for a few seconds, it will restore to the original "heart rate".

How It Works Messenger
Catcher
When the green monkey receives a message from a red monkey, the light on the chest will turn red.
Press the red button behind the green monkey to send a message to the red monkey
Copiest
The green button on the back can be connected to another monkey to make it glow red Waving or tapping on the side of the ear or any changes in ambient brightness are captured by the ear, causing the "heartbeat" to change
When there is no interaction, the light on the chest glows in the form of a breathing light. When you pinch its tail, the monkey will be scared and the frequency of flashing the chest breathing light will change.
When the green monkey sends a message, the light on the chest will turn green for a while and then return to red.
It can help you pass messages to your friends and tell them through simple light change that you miss them
As a sensitive and nervous monkey, the lighting changes in the environment will be captured by it, letting the light on its chest flash sharply
It can listen to and copy the rhythm of flashing light, such as signal lights for electronic products and warning lights
Core Code Read Buzzer Piezo timing++; if (timing>=10) { sensorReading=analogRead(piezoSensor); //Whenever the variable 'timing' is counted 10 times, read the value of buzzer piezo timing=0; if (sensorReading-Presensor>threshold){ while (number==prenumber){ number=random(1,4); //When the buzzer piezo is pressed, randomly select a breathing light mode } prenumber=number; brBrightness=0; } Presensor=sensorReading; }
Companion By Waving or Tapping its ears or pitching its tail, the light on the chest will react to you with vivid movements, such as imitating your beat or change the breathing frequency

HOLOFIT Wearables 2018 Oct. to Dec. Collabarated With Cai Tong Gao Mian Liu Yingxin
Responsible For User Research Design Concepts Interface Design
HoloFit is a set of wearable equipment that assists in indoor freehand exercise. It solves the problem that the traditional fitness APP is inconvenient to interact and can not provide accurate guidance for the action, creating a fitness experience like a personal trainer. In the process of project, we use user-participating design from the definition of requirements to the design of gestures to get the most needed functions and the most suitable interactive way for user's operating habits.
Background
Interview More and more people use mobile phone software to assist in a variety of fitness exercises. Among them, the self-reinforcing fitness exercise, which is low in difficulty and the site requirements, becomes the entry point for many people to strengthen their body function.

How to Use
The Holovect Mk II is the first commercially available, laser-based desktop "holographic" display, capable of drawing 3D objects in air with light.
In this product, we want to use holographic projection technology to create a threedimensional image in the air. But this technology is not mature enough now, just as a technical imagination in this product.
Use voice and gestures to interact without interruption
Scenario 1. Select Courses
Electronic Textiles
In the open state, tapping the training suit will pop up the relevant training courses for this body part. Electronic textiles are fabrics that enable digital components such as a battery and a light (including small computers), and electronics to be embedded in them.
Application The new fabric-based OLEDs are bright enough to rival current display technology, Each OLED emits only a single color, but engineers could make fabric-based screens with many color-changing OLED pixels to display messages.
How to Use The sensor on the clothing accurately identifies the user's movements and force, and give real-time feedback through vibrometer/electrode.

Possible Solution
Everyone’s time planning habits are different.
A tool that do not add any additional burden to the users
They prefer simple tools to manage time. Time managing apps are not consistent with their personal habits.
More personalized by learning users' habits.
