Response for Week 5 Reading – Intuitive Design

 

 

 

 

 

I found two objects which I think is intuitive design.

First one is the the pinch to zoom function designed by Apple using its touch screen. It’s so intuitive for people to pinch to zoom in. I clearly remembered when I first time to use iPod touch, watching the photos, without knowing any instructions to use it, I just naturally pinch to zoom because it’s a touch screen and support multi-touch. Also many of the iOS functions have intuitive designs.

Second one is one of the function of Moto 360. You just raise your hand, and the screen will light up and watch plate will appear on the screen. This feature quite fit the human’s habits. And it’s also natural, and easy.

As world becoming "digitalized", I am exploring the complex correlation between the digital and the physical, the virtual and the real. Through research and project, I'm answering how virtual and digital experience is perceived, and how it can be better applied, along with things like physical computing, to people's life for better working and living experience. I’ve done various forms of project: wearable technology, digital interactive graphics, data visualization, short films and UX design for company collaboration system. I have never limit the possibility of learning and taking use of new forms or new materials. Like a vintage typewriter that uses intelligent coding to type out a poem to wake you up, a short research documentary to observe how people perceive the fake but virtual information embedded in a daily life environment, a raincoat that seal itself using magnets. Actually, most of my works challenged the application of new materials and new forms, while deliver interaction with human experience in a respectful and playful way.
