About me

My projects

I am Zhen Wu, an early-stage designer and researcher interested in Human-Computer-Interaction and gamified experiences. I am a naturally empathic person, which inclines me to human situations and what could be called ’people-problem solving’. I am shy but brave. My strong heart gives me the braveness to take the lead in group situations and to cooperate with professors from other disciplines. I am logical and creative. I can work within a methodology and outside of one. I am fast to uncover insights discovered during research project investigations. As a student in XJTLU, the interdisciplinary research atmosphere enables me to enjoy the crossover of research and design practice. I am not only an academic high-performer, but I also lead interdisciplinary research-based activities. Even as an undergraduate student, I have made presentations in international conferences about the research I have undertaken.

My projects can be seen as a mixture of design and research, ranging from social design to scientific research, supervised by professors with different discipline backgrounds.

Stage2 Game for Co-Design

Mapping all the architectures that can be further developed in the game, they work as the open site for different users to co-design.

Setting different focal points in the village, they act as the scene in our game, where users can learning by playing. Parallel with the onsite scenario that users can also play these games in reality.

RemoteTextileBuddy: A Textile Interface Affective Gesture Game for Long-Distance Relationships Abstract In this work, we present RemoteTextileBuddy, a textile interface affective gesture game for long-distance relationships (LDRs). While the rapid development of communication technology has brought benefits to LDR partners/couples, people are still facing challenges when not staying physically close to each other. This is especially the case during COVID-19 times. Gestures like hugging, stroking, poking are diverse and critical in emotion communication but are often not available in LDR due to physical separation. To develop RemoteTextileBuddy, interviews were conducted with individuals in LDRs to capture their desired but missing interaction gestures when not near their loved one. Then, we designed three gesture-based textile interfaces to encourage LDR partners/couples to participate in embodied gameplay to see what emotional connections and experiences they could elicit. Two gameplay mechanics (gesture input, biodata input) were designed. The preliminary gameplay test results indicate that participants were intrigued, felt associated with, and accompaniment from their partner. They gave positive feedback especially when their biodata and gesture interaction process ended up into attractive visualizations on the textile interfaces. Keywords： Human-centered computing→ Interaction design; Collaborative interaction; User interface design; Hardware → Sensor applications and deployments.Paper submitted to The Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies (IMWUT)

Group projects, 2 members Cooperated with PhD student Mengqi.Jiang, we together do the research design, pillow design, and prototyping. Especially I was represent for hardware wireless communication

Phase1

Phase2

Focused on emotional interaction game design applied to the pillow-interaction scheme

1. Finding desired gestures in remote places and under what kind of emotion. Method: interview

2. Pilot study, pillow with different interaction gusetures prototyping and user test of gesture affordance and emotional response Method: Prototyping and in-lab study

Prototyping process

a. Poke-focus more on fun and play

b. Stroke-focus more on encourage and sympathy

c. Drag-focus more on attention attracting

In-lab couple studies Preliminary user test was conducted with 6 participants in the lab (age 21-28, 3 couples). They were arranged in different corners of the room, each held a pillow prototype, and unable to see each other. We encouraged them to express their feeling when interacting with three textile interfaces and two game mechanics. Data analysis 3*3 three-way repeated ANOVA, 9 conditions gesture bio-data+gesture

Research-through-design exploration into soft home health monitoring products for Chinese older adults

Iteration 2

Iteration 3

Abstract Due to the rapid aging in China, there are more and more families showing an inverted pyramid structure - four grandparents, two parents, and one child. This trend is accompanied by increasing pressure on society and individuals to provide for the elderly. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare for older people, in which mobile health services can play an important role. This study focusses on two crucial aspects of these mobile health services: firstly, to increase the acceptance among its users and secondly, to integrate elements of active ageing into healthcare technologies. These aspects are explored by means of a research-through�design process of a novel home health monitoring system consisting of textile-based products called Soft Central.

Cross-modal correspondence describes the tendency that occurs when a stimulus in one sense modality evokes a sensation in another sense modality [47]. People often map stimulus properties from different sensory modalities onto each other in a manner that is surprisingly consistent. Among them, visual and audio stimuli are the mostly studies ones with consistent result. On the other hand, food and taste as a gustatory interface within games. Moreover, research has shown that the immersive and dynamic context provided by VR can be benefit for altering sensory properties of food. Up to our knowledge, although there are works investigating visual stimuli in VR gustatory environment, few research is into the user experience of applying the cross-modal effect between sound and taste and evaluating the interaction effect with visual and audio stimuli in VR. This research aims to fill these gaps and to provide design guidelines for the cross-modal correspondence application in VR.

Literature review Visual and Audio stimuli can be regarded as two frequently studied ones about cross-modal correspondence with taste. Some research work also studies the interaction effect between visual and audio stimulus. While in taste study In VR, there are some research focused in cross modal effect between visual stimuli and taste. There is a blank space in investigating the influence that sound can have, and the interaction effect when combining visual and sound in VR environment is unknown.

Is that a common thought?

What if we put these parameters together?

To understand this we started an interview, here are my participants’answer:

We call that compose.Composing a music like mixing a drink. What if we can pour the sound into your drink, like when we have a beloved drink, you will have our beloved music. We made different music samples to demonstrate this idea, have a listen at: https://yoyoninmen.wixsite.com/drinkbeats

The aim of this project based of the cross-modal relationship between sound and taste. Certain type of music can evoke or represent certain type of taste. Starting from this psychological effect, this project aims to apply music into the drinking experience, investigating whether this application can make drinking experience innovative and more pleasant.
