DEVELOPMENT

This project focused on rich and embodied interaction, exploring the design of feedforward, feedback, and coupling, as well as how interaction can remain sustainable within growing and expanding IoT systems. By applying theories of rich interaction, coupling design frameworks, and a growing-system perspective, the project led me to reflect on how good design should be simple, legible, and engaging.

Through this project, I developed stronger design judgment and refinement skills, as well as more systemic thinking. I learned that restraint is essential in design: more does not necessarily mean better, and complexity does not mean rich. These insights influenced my design style and professional identity, leading me to reflect on the understandability in embodied interaction.

EAs

The project explored how form can provide feedforward, how metaphors can support user understanding, and how a clear design language can facilitate communication with users.

It encouraged me to reflect on how design decisions shape users’ interpretations and interaction patterns, raising my awareness of cognitive load and learning cost. These reflections have continued to inform my approach to design refinement in subsequent projects.
