1.
EXPLORE「Identify and define challenges through exploration.」探索 「 通过探索识别并定义挑战。」
This section delves into the challenges and behaviours associated with emotional regulation in home workspaces, exploring how individuals can recognise and manage their emotions more effectively. It highlights common emotional triggers identified through interviews and secondary research and outlines potential strategies for promoting emotional stability and mindfulness in daily activities.
In the concept development phase, this project explores how sensory design can be used to manage emotions. By integrating tactile, auditory, and visual interactions, we develop targeted solutions to achieve emotional balance, tailoring each element to effectively soothe or energise users based on their needs.
2.
CREATE「 Develop and prototype innovative solutions.」创造 「 开发并原型创新解决方案。」
This section transitions from mood boards inspired by California sunsets and seaglass to sketches of innovative, stackable designs, each reflecting a fusion of natural beauty and functional creativity.
This section illustrates the prototyping phase, where initial low-fidelity models of ‘Pebble’ are explored to verify concepts, followed by the development of functional modules including RGB LED rings, wireless charging, and Arduino-based controls. The process demonstrates the iterative testing and refinement needed to transform a concept into a functional, user-interactive product.
3.
IMPLEMENT「 Finalise and implement the most effective solution.」实现 「 确定并实施最有效的解决方案。」
This section demonstrates the interactive features of a modular lighting system, highlighting the wireless charging, intuitive controls, and stackable design that enable dynamic lighting adjustments. The storyboard illustrates various everyday scenarios where the lamp enhances the user experience by providing flexible, user-friendly illumination.”
