四點設計 Contact to Investigation of a simulated experience device for the elderly that reproduces tremor symptoms for cooperation

Through simulated experiences of the elderly on the subject of tremor, it is expected that younger generations and healthy individuals will become aware of the restrictions and difficulties in the lives of the elderly, and provide empathy and understanding. In this study, a vibration function was used in the body of the writing instrument to generate pseudo tremor, with the aim of proposing materials that simulate the experience of the elderly in the writing movement.

Design of a communication method that encourages a reconsideration of the relationship between people and nature based on the use of Kyon leather

DESIGN DEPARTMENT, CHIBA UNIVERSITY

Kyon, a specified Invasive alien species, is rapidly increasing in Chiba Prefecture. They are brought to Japan by humans and captured by humans. Although 90% of the captured kyon are discarded, their leather is of very high quality. Therefore, an attempt was made to create an opportunity for people to think about animal damage by organising a workshop using kyon leather products.
