Art Project at IAA

This is an interactive art piece designed with android. I worked with students from IAA (Institute of Applied Art), NCTU. We try to show people how we talk to the nature which we can’t and should not even try to control.

The viewer can talk to the five elements of nature, fire, water, wood, metal, and dust, and the elements will answer the viewer on their wills.

I, as the programmer, design the mechanism among the components.

UX Research

The pilot research is done by Andrea Chen, Fanny Wikman and myself as a project manager and user experience researcher/designer. We have built 3 types of personas and redefine the meaning of "travel" to travelers. We suggest that connection is the key in a trip. How people connect to the locals is the most important difference.
