The Influence of Reference Material for Sketching Strategies and Form Establishment at the Embodiment Design Level

This paper purposely to understand the relationship between reference materials and form the embodiment process illustrated in the design drawing sketch. To review the respondent’s design thinking characteristic and to surmise the scenario of the product development issue, a design protocol analysis put in place as a core method. Respondent behaviour throughout the design activities was recorded and analyzed through interaction design embodiment process. Analysing design activities and drawing sketch has produced some pattern which states the meaning of average design element, selected reference material, interaction behaviour, and the design process in a control situation.

EMF: Humanoid robots design scheme for child with autism

This research explores the humanoid facial design through Eyes-Mouth Features (EMF) as an indication of human embodied consciousness design. The study will be focused on portraying the practical model based on the syntax context focusing on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) based design development. This design integrates the value of appealing sensations that can trigger the feelings and impressions of the child with ASD. It is critical to developing an effective decision support system for designers to deal with challenges relating to consumers' psychological preferences towards a humanoid facial character that appeals to human emotion.

Interpretation of Humanoid Design towards ASD Learning Abilities: Theoretical framework

The humanoid robot has been used in part of the intervention programme for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Some studies address what kind of form and functionality a human-like robot should have to be socially accepted by them as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) children's motivation faces complex challenges.  This research aims to study the specific factor, problems and connection elements between the contexts of issues related to the interpretation of humanoid design toward ASD learning abilities. All the studied variables identified from the literature of recent theory models were summarized and arranged accordingly to form the conceptual framework.

Conceptual and Production Version Connectivity: Conceptual framework model

New product development, such as strategic conceptual designs, requires maximum effort, resources, expertise, time, and cost. However, due to unclear concern factors from various stages, these had changed the final design differently. Thus, this paper presents a theoretical framework model for performing design research, specifically in studying inconsistent design elements and factors that contributed to the new product development process. The triangulation of data collection from literature review, interviews and design experiments will establish the specific character of designers concern towards achieving the objective of the optimization NPD process.

Profiling User Engagement on Visual Information Design through Social Innovation Approach

The different point of messages received from the public audience on certain visual information design (VID) is wasted. Despite losses in the development cost, time spent for research, expert knowledge and the positive social elements agenda to be delivered. An ineffective research method approach effect a low engagement between audiences with the artifact (the VID), which contributed to this failure. In current practice, an in-depth discussion among the development team relies much on the survey information collected from interviews with the target audience. Active participation of the target user (audience) is not provided in the development agenda for concluding the final decision. For this reason, this research approached the case study method, specifically the participatory design process for study and the analysing stages. The method applies an open and collaborative process, to increase the collective wisdom and jointly find solutions to the problems. The main subject of social innovation is the collaboration of different categories of group organization. However, some queries need to be clarified specifically: 1) the changes in the participatory design method and developed under different categories of social conditions. 2) The basic elements that occur through the social innovation approach to different types, fields and backgrounds of society Through an in-depth analysis of social innovation, this paper is expected to identify the character of user engagement in visual information design through the social innovation approach for sustainable development. Specific elements of social innovation will be identified; place-making, context creation and relationship construction, which correspond to the location, types of events and relationships in the group type, thus establishing a mapping relationship between social innovation and the main subject of social innovation. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the basic elements of the occurrence of social innovation under the premise of participatory design, build a universal model of participatory social innovation, and explore the potential of participatory design methods in social innovation design

A Comparative Study on the Jewellery Making Process between Traditional and 3D Printing Methods for Islamic Geometric Patterns Design (IGPs

Even though Islamic geometric patterns (IGPs) are widely used and researched in architecture, there is yet a lack of research carried out on jewellery with IGPs designs and their making processes. Recent research is bound by the lack of validated data, lack of quantitative data, and the jewellery making methods. This research presents a comparative study between the traditional method and the 3D printing method in jewellery making with IGPs, and aims to identify the similarities, differences, pros, and cons of both methods. The jewellery industry is moving towards a new paradigm of customisation to satisfy customer wants for custom made jewellery. Moreover, the current market demands for jewellery made using mixed-materials and materials, such as wood, plastic, and glass. This highlights multiple issues with the current jewellery making process; such as being time-extensive, requiring high technical expertise, and fixing mistakes which is often expensive. The success of a design-based business depends on its engagement in new product development (NPD) to produce a marketable product. Hence, this study will explore whether 3D print can help jewellery makers in producing jewellery, and whether 3D print can replace traditional methods in some stages. The paper reports on an interview study with three experts in the jewellery design industry in understanding the current methods used in producing jewellery. In the case study, earrings with the same IGPs were designed and produced through hand-sawing, laser-cutting, and 3D printing processes. The study provides new insights that add to the understanding of the different jewellery making processes and the stages involved. This will determine if 3D print is a suitable answer to these problems
