When grieving, families often seek comfort through posthumously constructed "digital avatars." However, these avatars pieced together from fragmented data often feel artificial and lack true personality. Furthermore, steep costs and technical barriers make them inaccessible to many.

EchoMemo is an accessible AI device empowering anyone—especially the elderly, disabled, or high-risk professionals—to proactively create their own avatar.

Through "Interview Mode," users share life stories while the AI seamlessly learns their voice and logic. Families can later converse with this highly personalized avatar, experiencing the familiar warmth of their loved one.

EchoMemo shifts digital legacy from passive collection to active curation. Our minimalist design allows everyone to leave behind authentic, time-transcending companionship, completely free of regrets.

The EchoMemo device with its design background, concept, highlights, and users. Four modes: Daily Interview, Chat, Diary Review, and Reminder. Fabric shell and text display, showing the full interview-to-chat flow. Two generations connecting through EchoMemo, continuing companionship.

SHUTTERLOG

Department of Commercial Design, National Taichung University of Science and Technology

SHUTTERLOG is a project that focuses on the rolling shutter doors found throughout Taiwan’s streetscape. Starting from the distinctive ventilation hole patterns often overlooked on shutter doors, the project explores the craftsmanship, visual language, and evolution of this everyday urban element through extensive field research, photography, and systematic visual documentation. In addition to street observations, we visited manufacturers and factories to interview craftsmen and industry professionals about production techniques, historical changes, and stories behind the trade. We also spoke with local residents to collect personal memories and emotional connections related to rolling shutters in daily life. Through these investigations, SHUTTERLOG seeks to rediscover the overlooked details within Taiwan’s streetscape and preserve the urban textures and collective memories that are gradually fading away.
