Summary: | 隨著科技不斷進步,改變我們傳遞祝福的方式數位祝福形式取代傳統紙本卡片,實體卡片不再普及,手作卡片所擁有的觸覺與情感上的獨特價值也被忽略。數位與手作之間,存在某種隔閡,數位的強大虛擬化傾向與實體物件背後的情感價值似乎有著矛盾性。然而人們對數位科技的依賴不代表實體已經失去魅力,手感經濟的被提倡顯示人們對手作價值的重新看重,也顯示出兩者之間需要尋求更好的連結。
故本研究提出一項幫助手作立體卡片製作的行動應用服務構想「HandiCard」,擁有數位輔具在編輯和製作上的便利性,同時容許製作者融入個人巧思,又保有與紙張的實質接觸,是兼具數位科技長處與實體存在感的設計。
透過文獻與案探討,本研究歸納出「客製化、手作、即時性」三大影響因素,並匯整立體卡片常見結構與規則,作為HandiCard設計原型的考量。最後根據受訪者的使用意見與回饋,進行整理與討論,探討此原型未來可發展的方向。 === The advance of technology has changed the way we convey blessings. However, these digital methods also diminish the unique value of emotions and the sense of touch which brought by handmade cards. The reflections on advocating Hand-Touch Economy shows that there seems to be a contradiction between the strong tendency of digitalization and the sentimental value of physical objects.
Therefore, this study developed “HandiCard”, a prototype for assisting the design and production of pop-up cards by using mobile application. It provides the convenience of digital tools and focuses simultaneously on the sentimental value given by handmade products. We expect that HandiCard could seek out the possibilities of combining digital technology with handmade products, which could provide more real touch and the sense of existence in the digital era.
Through literature review and case study, we summed up that “customized”, “handmade”, and “real-time” are the three major factors. Also, we summarized the common structures and principles in pop-up cards as the reference for designing the prototype of HandiCard. At last, we discussed interview feedbacks from user testing to explore the possibilities of being commercialized in the future.
