Associating blind user designer product experience through design activities / Verly Veto Vermol

The lack of blind user experience understanding in design knowledge may lead to confusing preferences that are associating them with the designer in product development. Blind user touch experience feedback remarks important attributes to supply designer knowledge in designing through blind user familiarity. The problem of associating this knowledge cannot be solved simply by asking questions and surveys. There is an urgent need for an innovative approach to design activities, through product design investigation. Thus, the adoption of a strategic procedural design activity approach is needed to carry further identifying haptic imaging function and roles. This research trigger to associate attributes that influencing the blind user and designer through their experience. It specifically studies product components representation to design preferences and attributes. This research is based on data obtained from protocol interviews and observation that polled blind users and designers haptic feedback to product attributes factors from experiencing the complexity of haptic imaging modalities. The data were analysed to evaluate and determine the product attributes and its level of preferences that are influencing the strategic approach to the design development planning and management of product appearance for the blind user. The research suggested that successful procedural design activities are able to associate designers’ understanding of product physical and functional qualities feedback draws from the understanding of the blind user. The results of the study provide designer product sketch idea feedback pattern through haptic experience which incorporate principal issues discussed that associated to the product performances

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.

Conceptualizing Touch Aesthetic Communication as a Model Pictorial Art Appreciation

Haptic communication through pictorial art remains an argumentative subject of aesthetic experience, with many unresolved issues until today that questioning the how and why reactions of various people. Throughout this framework of research, a conceptual examination of experiencing a pictorial work of art (its duration, intensity, and individual art expression) for a congenitally blind person by applying Verbal Protocol Analysis (VPA) approach model was designed to enhance the experience from an artwork. This study provides an observation procedure within the influence of 'time of experience' and 'art expression' mediated by professional artwork.

Designing Movable Kitchen Cart through the Elements of Traditional Baba Nyonya House

Malaysia is known for its multicultural diversity, which is heavily influenced by the ancient Malay culture, indigenous peoples and the cultures of Malaysia's second main ethnics groups - the Chinese and Indian. For centuries, our cultures have blended to create Malaysia's diverse heritage. Sadly, Malaysians are slowly losing their ancient culture due to modernisation. One particular culture of Malaysia that is close to extinction is the Peranakan culture. The researcher found it vital to implement our cultural motif into product design, so she has come out with a freestanding kitchen with an influence of the Peranakan motif.

Conceptual Design of COD-E Humanoid Robots

The conceptualizing process plays an important role in assisting designers’ creativity in form and styling development. It contributes to representing the cultural elements before product transformation, which has a limited investigation. This research aims to identify the metaphorical form element that conveys the brain impaired as factors of selection and defining form development of the humanoid robot embodiment. Design Protocol Analysis obtains to into design linguistic interpretations and synthesizing design based on perceptual product experience. Findings have outlined the theory of metaphorical form element selection and identification that could represent brain impaired product in assisting humanoid robotic acceptance among autism.

Malay Women's Fashion Clothing Framework Model of ‘MCCC' as Design Principles and Reflection for Malay Women's Fashion

Globalization through developed nations encouraged the Malay culture to compete and adapt to the most popular foreign culture globally. In Malay fashion culture, the difficulties in recognizing values related to customs, lead to the loss of national pride; it shows practicalities or pragmatism not only transforms physical appearance but also changes the way of appreciating Malay clothing values. The combination methodologies of the textual and visual content analysis concluded with interviews. The design principles of 'MCCC' displayed clothing content-characteristic reflected Malay fashion, possesses clothing details component that has social, and cultural values and attributes portraying myriad achievements acknowledged by society.

Visualizing Kelingkan Embroidery through the of Malays Styles and Motives

It was reported that in 2002, at least five kelingkan embroiderers were still practicing their craft in the East Malaysian state of Sarawak, and lesser of them were still active in West Malaysia. This situation may cause stagnation in the development of this type of embroidery making, particularly in Malaysia. It may even lead to this art form becoming obsolete in the future. In fact, in the present day, the demand for kelingkan in the market is high. Malaysian fashion designers have also become responsive to the beauty of traditional embroidery to elevate them to the same sphere as exclusive international embellishments.  Keywords: Embroidery; Malay Costumes; Styles; Motives eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2022.

Building a Cultural and Creative Industry Platform to Serve the Economic Development

With the rise of global integration of science, technology economy and cultural creative industries develop rapidly. Under the circumstance of rapid development, how to train the development of cultural creative industries talents has become a key factor problem of prosperity society. Institutions of higher learning undertake the four functions of talent training, scientific research, social service cultural inheritance and innovation. Therefore, it is necessary to build a research platform for cultural and creative industry of the college. This platform is not only help graduates find their future employment direction, but also effectively help them to obtain employment and start businesses. At the same time, the platform is used to enhance the integration with local industry development and promote the local economy development, which not only meets the development of college, but also meets the needs of local governments and enterprises. This mode of training talents for government-industry-university-research cooperation meets the interest demands of the government, industry and school, and serves the development of local economy together.

Iconography Underpinning Malaysian Portrait Painting

Malaysian portrait paintings were introduced in the 1930s where local artists started using the subject in their art-making. In art, portraits are generally known as the likeness of a person, especially a face and shoulders, but in fact, there are more ways to define portrait and painting. There is a lack of understanding and interpretation on the subject. Consequently, this study aims to trace the chronology of the development of Malaysian portrait paintings. The stylistic and contextual issues, including its formalistic format, media, themes and styles, and artists, are also examined in this study using a mixed-mode of research method.
