普象-让好设计发光

EMO Mic
Convey children's emotions through the cup phone

Key words: Educate / Accompany / Left behind children / Emotional visualization / Communicate

“EMO Mic”，是针对留守儿童家庭设计的一个充满童趣的纸杯电话装置。在调研中我发现留守儿童的父母常选择打电话这种方式进行沟通和陪伴孩子，但事实上这不一定真的陪伴到了孩子。经济学家薛兆丰教授提出了“有效沟通”概念：陪着不等于陪伴。因为在通话过程中父母会自然而言、不自知地成为指挥者，让本温馨的来电变得无趣与反感。于是我设计了一套纸杯电话交互装置以及一套用户体验流程，实现传递孩子通话时的情绪给父母，借助语音识别情绪技术，将情绪转化为不同颜色，再通过纸杯电话进行传达，我的装置致力于改善父母与儿童间的对话问题，从而让家长们都能关注到对话方式对孩子的心理影响，真正地陪伴电话另一头的孩子们。

“EMO Mic”, is a child-friendly cup phone device designed for families with left-behind children. In my research, I find that parents of left-behind children often choose to call their children to communicate and spend time with them, but it does not necessarily mean real company for their children. Professor Xue Zhaofeng, an economist, has proposed the concept of “effective communication” that being there is not the same as the company. It’s because parents naturally and unknowingly become the ones in charge during the phone call, making an otherwise warm call uninteresting and offensive. Therefore, I design the cup-phone interactive device and a user experience process to convey the emotions of the child on the phone to the parents, using the technology of emotion recognition by voice to translate emotions into different colors, and then communicate them through the cup phone. Thus, parents can focus on the psychological impact of the conversation style on their children and accompany their children through phones.
