The Exploration of “HAPTIC DESIGN” 什麼是「觸覺設計」?

Taiwan Design Forum
活動說明

9.29 (Sun) 下午13:00-14:20

主講:日本應慶義塾大學媒體設計研究所教授 南澤孝太
與談:華碩設計中心資深研究員 蔡敦仁

觸覺(HAPTIC),是人類的五感之一,藉由觸覺,我們透過身體將自我與世界聯繫起來。我們的身體像是個”感應器”,時時刻刻接觸到不同人、事、物的刺激,進而感受快樂、悲傷等各種情緒。因此,「觸覺設計」是專注於可提供觸感體驗的設計,也可被視為一種以身體為媒介來連結自己與世界的設計。

在日本致力於觸覺設計的研究與推廣的南澤孝太教授,將以應用實例分享如何將個人的觸覺體感經驗,透過科技去擴展、延伸,以及其產生的可能性。

 

Haptic is a physical sensation of human beings, it allows us to connect with the world through our bodies. As we receive all kinds of stimuli from different events, people or objects, our bodies work like a “sensor" to perceive emotions as feedback, such as joy and sadness. Therefore, Haptic Design touches on applications of sense of touch, in other words, it’s the interface that sees the body as a medium to link ourselves to the world. 

 

Professor Kouta Minamizawa has been devoted to the research and development of Haptic Design in Japan. In this talk, he will share his insights and case studies on how personal haptic experiences can be expanded and elevated through technology.
