Final Presentation.








































During our interviews we met Nazli and her husband. one of the stories form nazli that stood out to us was their 3 month travel from western europe to eastern china on their honeymoon. during this entire trip nazli had to limit herself with buying souvenirs because they were backpacking and space was limited. because of this we saw an opportunity to reduce the clutter of sentimental objects but still preserve the stories and memories associated with them.


A solution we developed is the memory beads. these come in a variety of colors and can be strung together as a bracelet or necklace. because they are individual machines, you can collect as many of these beads to store you memories as you want. you can also pick and choose which ones you want to wear on you at any given point.


Some of the features are its ability to record voice, video and images. it is easily operated by controlling one scroll button with one hand. all the data can be wirelessly backuped so that you wont have to worry about losing your recordings and memories. video voice, and images can be projected so that you can carry your stories and share them whenever and wherever you want to. biometrics keep your memories personal so you can feel confident about its security.

design Research week14 ! Rehearsal





Nowadays, people are more and more not satisfied with they own. Gradually, we become more and more greedy and what everything. When we got too many things that we started to think "hey, do I really need this stuff?" So that's why we start to discuss this "right-size" and "enoughness" issue.To review our design research procedure, we construct our project by step by step. From the beginning to now, from the Alemany flea market to memory beads, through many lectures and discussions, I believe that I've learned a lot of things and experiences. Also, thanks for IDEO's research method, it can not only use on design research but also other career. I trust that this method could use on my father's company to help him solve issues after I go back home.
