In this 2-days design sprint, under guidance from professional, we conducted user research, ideation, prototyping, user testing, and pitch by useful service design tools.  From user research, we got the inspiration from stories of pet owners. We defined our challenge is to design for that trainning the pet owner to better empathise the pets. Our solutions is a mobile theme park that offers sensory experiences under the pet’s sense, and special souvenir: role-play boardgame for pets and pets owner. The idea is to enable pet owners to experiences how their pets feel and help owners empathise and understand the pets, ultimately benefits their relation. At this starting point, we showed the concept from the vision by prototyping a color-blind VR glass to mimic dog’s view.  ︎︎︎Coming Soon <img width="2000" height="1400" width_o="2000" height_o="1400" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/669de172a1e8a867ec38b8adc0bfb2e9fd09229c428920b6de34cea662e7a9c8/Dog-experience.png" data-mid="146382023" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/669de172a1e8a867ec38b8adc0bfb2e9fd09229c428920b6de34cea662e7a9c8/Dog-experience.png" /> footer https://yiranwei.com/footer-7 Sat, 25 Jun 2022 23:14:43 +0000 YiranWei https://yiranwei.com/footer-7 ︎︎︎Previous Page ︎︎︎Back to Top︎︎︎ Next Projects︎︎︎ Overview copy https://yiranwei.com/Overview-copy Thu, 09 Feb 2023 12:25:56 +0000 YiranWei https://yiranwei.com/Overview-copy JellyBra  How to design a conceptural smart bra to meet woman’s needs?
