The definition of human centered design is basically improving the product regarding to personal habit, human structure, psychology, and ways of thinking and so on, intending to make the product more comfortable, easy to use, pleasurable. Human-centered design is a kind of caring for human in design.
After watching the video, I was so interested in the retarding mirror. People no longer need to turn their head around to see how they look from the back. They just need to turn around in front of the mirror, when they are facing the mirror again, the image in the mirror is still turning. It’s just like looking at oneself from another person’s eyes. People really need to pay attention to everyday life to find this very urge of the customers. However, there is great technology standard for this design. If there is no good technology, even though the product is designed, with bad clearness, fluency and color, the image is very ugly from the real person; the customer will still be unsatisfied. This even will decrease the selling of the shop.
Another design I love is the little plastic flower placing in the working cube. Sitting alone in a small square place, seeing no one around, the person will probably feel bored and lonely. With depressing feeling, how could people have anxiety to work? If we place this little cute flower in the cube, firstly, it's a really good decoration. Secondly, when the host comes back, the flower will lift up its head and smile at the host, just like a little pet. And when the host leaves, it’ll drop its head, looking very sad. This’ll give people a kind of feeling that they are being loved and cared, which will eliminate loneliness and bareness and bring happiness to their work.
It’s really meaningful to watch this human-centered design video. It make me consider more about human feelings.
