Amo以可爱的动物形象出现的装饰品,交互、科技友好是其特点,主要设计意图是整合科技与创意。该作品的主要设计概念来自“宠物治疗”,采用可爱的狗、猫、鱼三类人们日常会饲养的宠物为设计形象。
一组三个,分别对应不一样的理念。其一是对应生活状态的狗狗心率灯,会根据环境温度改变灯光颜色:1. 白光供日常使用;2. 手指触碰鼻头就会改变颜色,当检测到心率间于60至80每分钟时,灯光会变绿,间于80至100之间时则变蓝。这个设计显示当下心情和压力;3. 当把手放在狗狗面颊或做挠背动作时,狗狗就是“汪汪”回应。其二是动感猫猫,一款模拟猫咪各种行为动作的无线充电器、小音响,根据音乐节奏做出不同反应。其三是抹香鲸台灯,集自动灯和香薰器为一体:1. 根据环境自动调节灯光亮度;2. 香薰扩散。
该组产品关注在疫情当下,人们困于隔离等情况,利用设计和科技,帮助喜欢宠物但因各种原因无法拥有的独居消费者释放压力、缓解孤独。
Amo is a set of interactive, tech-friendly decorations in form of cute pets, arising from the intention of studying and integrating easy responsive-designed technology and bringing creativity together with product design. The main concept is from Pet Therapy to create decorative products by designing the shape and the response that was inspired by three pets that people today tend to have since they are cute and easy to raise in the home: dogs, cats, and fish.
The set of products includes three decorative products: different designs, shapes and responses – a response to user and a response to the environment, namely the first one, Dog-rate. The dog lamp changes color according to heart rate. It can be used in 3 ways: 1. White lights for normal use, 2. The lights change color when touching the nose area with your finger. The light will appear green when the heart rate is 60-80 Bpm. This indicates a normal heartbeat and appears blue when the heart rate is 80-100 Bpm. This may indicate a state of tiredness or a stressful mood and 3. The barking response is when the hand is placed around the chin or do a dog scratching pose.
For the second product -- Dynamic-Cat, cat speaker and wireless charger by imitating the behavior of cats with different emotions like a variety of music styles. There are two ways of use: a speaker and as a wireless charger in the back of the cat and the third product is Aroma-Whale Lamp -- automatic light whale and aroma diffusor (Aroma) with two ways of use. 1. Automatic environment-based turn on-off such as diffusing light when the environment becomes dark and automatic shut-off when the surrounding environment is light and 2. Diffusing aroma to enhance the atmosphere.
This decorative product can be helpful in relieving stress and relieve loneliness for those who love pets and want to raise animals but there is a reason in the fact that animals cannot be raised or people who have to live alone due to the nature of living in separate houses and the detention during current pandemic. It also creates a new conceptual design framework for product designers to create new products by integration and application of technology in response to the design of decorative products.
