I-DOG : Interactive Music Companion


Easy to use, simply sit I-DOG Interactive Music Companion in front of a speaker or plug it into the headphone jack of any hand-held music system and I-DOG will move and groove to the rhythm of the song.  To really get the party started, owners can plug their hand-held music systems directly into I-DOG and music will broadcast through a built-in speaker.  In addition, I-DOG Interactive Music Companion also comes complete with a dual jack so that its owner can plug their headphones in and dance along to the music with I-DOG.  Either way the owner chooses to listen to their favorite tune, as soon as I-DOG hears music, its face will light up or its ears and head will wiggle and sway in sync with the tune.
I-DOG Interactive Music Companion displays four distinct personalities that are dependent on the type of music it hears:  rock and punk make I-DOG rebellious, classical and country relax I-DOG, pop and R&B make I-DOG happy and dance music excites I-DOG.  In addition to head and ear movement, I-DOG expresses its different personalities through a unique array of colorful LEDs located on its face. 
DOG Interactive Music Companion can also be moody and will express its moods independently of the music that it hears.  Through sensors located on I-DOG’s tail, head and nose, owners can provide their portable puppy with positive affirmation or negative reinforcement. A gentle pat on the top of I-DOG’s head puts I-DOG in a cheerful, upbeat mood and a light tap on the tail will let I-DOG know that it’s been disobedient.  Use the sensor located on I-DOG’s nose to wake it up from sleep or to turn I-DOG off to let it get some rest.

小時候也有一隻陽春的寵物狗,按下肚子的開關會播音樂、走路、搖耳朵尾巴,這裡人只參與到按下開關的動作後,剩下的便是機械自己的表演了。
這款i-Dog增加了許多新科技和體驗設計,透過在尾巴、頭、鼻子加入感應裝置,使用者能將過往的對犬的經驗,對應到機械狗上面,透過摸頭、打尾巴等動作,得到正向或負向的回饋。
機械狗不只模仿狗的行為,同時也加入人類在聽音樂時會有的舉動,他能判斷不同音樂類型帶給人類不同的感受,用狗的動作去模仿人類的情緒。我覺得這點特別高明,看見動物有人類的行為出現時,人們往往會覺得特別可愛,i-Dog便抓住了這心理。
這是一款結合了情感和認知的有趣設計。

TSUMIKI : Interactive Toy Series

http://ppp.tokyo.jp/works/tsumiki

TSUMIKI is an interactive toy that combines building blocks with the digital world. The blocks' layout and positions are read by a sensor, and an image is projection-mapped onto the blocks to match how they are stacked. Depending upon how they are stacked, you can make animals appear or play number games, and illuminations are projected onto the completed built design. It is a unique experience that broadens enjoyment of building block play. If you arrange the size and shape of the blocks, they can be used not only as a toy, but for staged effects and window displays utilizing space.
很喜歡日本PPP公司的設計,特別介紹tsumiki,透過裝在方塊裡的探針,透過方塊不同的排列組合,投影出不同的動物型態在方塊上移動。
投影數字時,就是一副簡單有趣的算數教材,易懂的概念模型幫助出題者能創造繁複的數學題目,解題者也可以在解決問題時,得到立即的回饋。
這間公司的其他產品,諸如PlaypadGRAFFY也都很吸睛。

GRAFFY is the video generator that drawing transforms to an animation. Your drawing will march, dance and moves with joy. It is just to draw or color in the template paper given. After that scan the drawing and put in the GRAFFY, it will start moving as an animation. At TOKYO DESIGNERS WEEK 2013, we exhibited GRAFFY as an installation with the theme of "future living". The template is designed a figure of human which is the main character for living and it is made of pieces together with circle, triangle, and square. Taking it in GRAFFY the character animates, and arranging pieces creates new designs. At the end of the animation, pieces get together and makes a house. Each pieces drawn by people creates a future story.

Tamagotchi 兒時電子雞


小時候幾乎人手一機的電子雞,滿足了許多家裡不能養寵物的孩子。一開始你要去寵物店挑選一隻喜歡的寵物,電子雞就和一般的寵物一樣,會吃飯上廁所睡覺,為了滿足他的需求你必須去打工(破關一些小遊戲)換取金錢,才能購買食物。到了晚上的時候,你上床睡覺,他也會去睡覺;如果把他放著不管,你的寵物就會生病死掉,日本的機子在寵物死亡後這部機器就也壽終正寢了,但是聰明的台灣了新增了undo鍵,通常是隱藏在小凹縫裡的案件,用竹籤按下就可以重頭再來一遍。
