Research On Adult Toy Design Based On Embodied Cognition Theory

With the material needs of life gradually met,people pay more attention to meet their spiritual needs.In this stage,some adults show interest in toys and hope to be satisfied with them.At present,most of the toys in the market are for children,and their design concepts and production processes have been quite mature,while the design concepts and methods for adult toys are relatively blank.How to add the function can meet the spiritual needs of adult users and how to make adult toys better meet the spiritual needs of users is a problem which worth of study and discussion by designers.Based on the emotional needs of adults,this paper analyzes the emotional needs of adults for toys,and discusses that toys should have the function of decompression,compensation and meeting the challenges in the concept of adults.Then,taking toy products as the research object,through the theory of body cognition,this paper analyzes the thinking mode formed by the past body,the psychological prediction and action simulation before the use of the product,and how the degree of body perception participation affects the process and results of the experience.Based on this,a toy design strategy based on the emotional needs of adults is proposed.In the end,the fingertip gyroscope is taken as the verification object,and the shortcomings and corresponding design principles of the current fingertip gyro are pointed out.The design of fingertip gyro is carried out,and the toy design theory of this paper is verified.It provides a certain theoretical basis for the toy design,and finally provides a new design idea for the adult toy design.
