"EMO Mic" is a cup phone device full of children's interest designed for families of left-behind children. In the research, I found that the parents of left-behind children often choose to make phone calls to communicate and accompany their children, but in fact, this may not really accompany their children. Professor Xue Zhaofeng, an economist, put forward the concept of "effective communication": companionship is not the same as companionship. Because during the call, parents will naturally and unknowingly become commanders, making this warm call boring and disgusting. So I designed a set of cup phone interaction device and a set of user experience process to realize the transmission of children's emotions to parents when talking. With the help of voice recognition emotion technology, the emotions are converted into different colors, and then conveyed through cup phone. My device is committed to improving the dialogue between parents and children, so that parents can pay attention to the psychological impact of dialogue methods on children, really accompany the children on the other side of the phone.

Thank you. This project focuses on thinking about the problems of left-behind children in the new era, rather than landing and realizing.

Make your own design and design that really understands the loneliness and living environment of children. If you change your color, you can solve the communication problem.... What do you think.... The left-behind children have money to buy this. It is better to buy an IPAD to see the reality that their parents can see each other.

First of all, thank you for your detailed browsing and careful evaluation. First of all, it is true that my products are more inclined to installation art and more inclined to call on everyone to pay attention to the problem of "false companionship". Of course, the form of video is also mentioned in my research. First of all, it is found that more communication methods are in the form of mobile phone. Second, even video has fake smiles, obviously it is a warm two-way chat, but gradually becomes a boring one-way output of parents, which we often fall into the conversation without knowing it. Of course, I think this is my re-thinking about the traditional solutions for left-behind children. I think this project is one of the most powerful projects for me to go to dream school. I did not focus very much on the need to land severely, but retained some artistic ideas. I will continue to improve this project in my future study.

There is no problem in integrating art into design, but the solution is too abstract, and the research does not take into account the user's background. It is out of place to have such a thing in rural areas.

Yes, in fact, I still want to do something more abstract, because this work mainly wants to show thinking and does not have to be implemented on the ground. Of course, it is also great to be able to land on the ground, but my ability in this area is relatively poor, so I hope it will be insufficient in the future!

The left-behind children are not all children from rural areas or poor families.

Even some first-tier cities have appeared "Internet stay", and their situation is worthy of our attention.
