| As computer system and technology become more ubiquitous in their conception, there is a trend that designers are searching for the way of combining technology with human form (global companies include IBM, Philips and Levis). The technology of such a large corporate companies is about mass-produced changes in our personal experience of the world. When Designing devices that enable communication between individuals using technology, the importance of how the device relates to the users as an individual, rather than a member of group of people should be highlighted.
Jewelry is about an intimate connections between an individual and object, and often forms a link in the relationships between persons. This study emphasizes the contribution that contemporary jewelry design can make to the design and conception of digital communication devices, showing a creative methodology for creating new digital jewelries integrating technologies. This bridges the areas of HCI(Human Computer Interaction), contemporary jewelry and other design disciplines.
The results include wearable objects and perspective for viewing objects, in particular jewelries involving computer technologies. This study proposes the design of an electronically enhanced form of self-expression for increased social awareness in physical reality, by combining principles of wearable computing, aesthetic visualization, and electronic fashion. |
