This work uses a clay pot as the central image, symbolizing a vessel that nurtures life and carries history. In the center of the pottery pot, the cups are connected to each other, just like the continuous flow of memories and emotional connections between ethnic groups. The Paiwan figure in the center is a life conceived from a clay pot, and he carries the blessings of the ancestral spirits and the expectations of the tribe at the same time. Growing up and gazing ahead symbolizes a new generation born under the nourishment of traditional culture, carrying cultural wisdom towards their own path. The overall imagery presents a cyclical story of "culture breeds life and life continues culture".

The product design is centered on the concept of “multi-form × multi-perception × multi-interaction.” It precisely targets the needs of young to middle-aged individuals with moderate visual impairment, addressing their mobility challenges in complex environments. The system integrates three adaptable vehicle configurations—Self-Driving Mode, Guide Mode, and Walking Mode—which can be seamlessly switched according to different scenarios, providing comprehensive navigation support across all environments. On the technological level, the product incorporates an AI-driven guidance system with real-time obstacle detection and dynamic route planning capabilities, forming a robust safety protection network. In addition, a dedicated mobile application enables a social interaction mechanism, leveraging sensor technologies to enhance the quality of interactions between users and the public, reducing social barriers and fostering a more inclusive and friendly communication bridge. This is not merely a mobility aid. The design aims to integrate safety, advanced technology, and social inclusivity, delivering an intuitive and dignified independent mobility experience for visually impaired users.
