Abstract
Research background: Material Intelligence is a widely discussed topic in recent years. With the promotion of the manufacture, designers enable design patterns to create or change materials performance for their creative works. Material properties such as the color, texture and luster could show specific effects in different conditions. In the field, this paper focuses on the material color and human behaviors, and proposes a design method for creating a better interior environment.
Research question: Color is a significant part of our life. Many design cases use color widely to affect emotions to realize special functions. However, the dye is difficult to change in real-time, which unable to adapt to different emotion requires. Artificial lights are difficult to keep vivid in sunny conditions, and large-scale use of artificial light could also cause uncomfortable to people.
Approach: To implement the purpose in research, using laser films materials as the basic research object. Analyzing relationships between color produced through rotating films and the rotation angle, which transform programs to realize digital twin. Then, the overall equipment is fabricated by structural design and 3D printing technology, and the Arduino Open-source hardware control the device. Moreover, analyzing different postures of people by motion capture technique, realize positively change color by user-behavior.
Results: In this paper designing a color-interactive device to positively change color based on programmable physical color-changing materials and user-behavior analysis, which actively adapt human’s behavior. And this creates a way for the interior environment of adaptive design.
Contributions: This research attempt to connect microstructures of materials and macro performance by programmable technology. From principles to design application, it is a practice of using design thinking to realize design innovation in longitudinal research. In this study, the color generated based on the principle of structure-color materials, compared with artificial light, this physical color-changing material has good display effect and real color in outdoor or strong light environment. And it can save energy of artificial light, which is also an exploration and experiment of sustainable intelligent design.
