PlinDoor

📝 About the Project

Design project from KAIST ID403 System Design coursework (Department of Industrial Design)

PlinDoor - Paper-like Interactive Door - digitally augments a conventional room door to facilitate communication between people at both sides. Users can control PlinDoor's openness and express their moods by folding, cutting, and making virtual holes as they do with real paper.

✍️ What I learn

💬 Communication research

It was the first time that I’ve designed and researched about the technology/system mediated communication in offline environment. While conducting 3 different user tests to develop the design, I can understand the difference between ordinary UI design and system design like this project.

🗣️ How to convince audience of my design

After we decided to use door for enhancing communication between family member, there were several concept changes because of setting too ambitious goal comparing with the project scale. I learnt that wrapping the design more attractive and convincing is important as well as the contents itself.
