The Application Of "Trace" Research In Product Design Field

The rapid development of the Internet welcomes a more open and free era,and people gradually pay less attention to people and objects around.However,with the rapid growth of the interactive design,the communication between people and objects has regained its popularity,and in this way much more designers have aimed at creating a more harmonious relationship between people and objects.The conception of "Trace" originated from the interaction between people and objects,and its appearance also improves the emotional communicative experience between people and objects.This thesis mainly consists of five parts.First,the basic concepts of trace and its application in non-design field are understood mainly by literature research method.And the concept of “Psychological Trace”,which concerns the trace of the interaction between people and objects in the psychological level,is put forward in the perspective of designers’ new angles,as a breakthrough in the field of design research.Secondly,based on the literature research method,the thesis studies the application of the "Trace" of the interactive experience in psychological level between people and objects in the design field after systematically listing the data,which helps expound the fit point of the characteristics of "Trace" and design are closely related to human behaviors and psychology.The "Trace" and the product design are inseparable from the objects(mainly the material),so the idea that the "Trace" is more suitable for application in the field of product design is proposed,and from two perspectives including the feasible design approach and the development direction of the "Trace" in product design field,its application in the field of product design is analyzed.And in this way to make research on how different products,different materialsand different behaviors have different "Trace",combining with the emotional conditions of the "Psychological Trace",so that to acquire "Trace" products’ characteristics and requirements and find the suitable carrier that is suitable for its application--taking EDC products as an example.Thirdly,through using the literature research method,the questionnaire survey method and the data collation method,this thesis tries to understand the EDC products and its comprehensive relationship with the "Trace",and then analyze the results that regards female as the target group.Also,we studies the female and female products with the methods of literature research,questionnaire and interviews,to briefly describe the fit points between the behavioral and psychological characteristics of females and "Trace".Then,research on the behavior of female users through the methods of user observation,interview and practice is conducted to learn the general situation of demand and usage of EDC products by female groups as well as the wear and sweat tests on EDC products.Finally,taking "Trace" as a design method,innovative design of female EDC products is conducted combining with material research and user behavior research results.The purpose and significance of this thesis is to explore the value of "Trace" in the field of design,to discuss the application possibility of "Trace" in product design field,so that to lead "Trace" into the field of product design,to take improving the relationship between people and objects as a new research direction and a new trend,and in this way to play a guiding role in the future emotionalized product design and pleasure development.
