Keyshot Title:  Creating Humane Values in Future Artifacts through Augmented Design
报告题目:通过“增强设计”给为未来人工物创造人文价值

At the Co.design:Inter.action Design Research Group at the department of Industrial Design, KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology), we investigate Augmented Design. In a narrow sense, Augmented Design can be interpreted as a field of research applying Augmented Reality and Internet of Things technology into design. In a broader perspective, we define this field as inquiring about how future smart things can enrich people’s lives and identifying methods that support design activities for the creation of such things. Important questions for Augmented Design include: What are the main drivers of authentic happiness? How can designed artifacts help people achieve such happiness? What impacts do these artifacts have on people’s lives? We conduct two types of augmented design research. The first type focuses on creating humane values in future artifacts. The second involves supporting design activities that aid in creatively thinking about and realizing such artifacts. This talk introduces examples of Augmented Design research and discuss implications for design technology education.

“增强设计”(Augmented Design)是韩国科学技术院(KAIST)工业设计系的Co.design: Inter.action设计研究小组关注的一个研究课题。狭义的增强设计是指在设计中应用增强现实AR和物联网IoT技术。广义的增强设计研究是指探索未来智能产品如何丰富人们的生活、以及设计这些智能产品所需的方法。增强设计研究的重要议题有:真正的幸福感有哪些驱动因素?如何通过人工物的设计来帮助人们获得幸福感?这些人工物如何对影响人们的生活?Tek-Jin Nam教授的团队主要研究两种类型的增强设计:第一类研究聚焦如何给未来人工物创造人文价值,第二类研究探索构思与实现上述人工物的设计活动所需的支持。本次演讲将向大家介绍增强设计研究的案例,并探讨其对设计科技教育的意义。
