[WEEK 25] Micro UX: SITC Mid Presentation

Updated: Jun 28, 2020

After all the researcher explore connection between Satellite and Human Emotion we have done , it is time to generate some ideas to push us to the next stage.


Emotion visualization

The visualization of emotion is meant to be an attempt to make visible a process that is in large part invisible and only partially perceived by the one experiencing it.







1. Time& Distance

When I first came to the UK from China, the screen in front of my seat told me that I was getting farther away from home and closer to my destination. In this plan, we thought of the most direct and common way to ease homesickness, making phone calls a distance visualization.


2. Homesick & light

ACCORDING to a recent Gallup World Poll, 1.1 billion people, or one-quarter of the earth’s adults, want to move temporarily to another country in the hope of finding more profitable work. An additional 630 million people would like to move abroad permanently.


This night map from the Nasa, shown how the night would be like in different cities in a global scale., On the one hand, the lightmap directly reflects the the local level of industrialization and urbanization; on the other hand, it can also partially reflect the the concentration of the world's population. When lightn of the city reveals they are many people. Lights and light to some extent played a companionship role in human society. When there are people from the same place, the lights will be brighter



So we hope to use light as a carrier. When more and more people from different places are together, the light will be more and more, and let people know that the function of people who are homesick like themselves is provided by satellite .

Real Time Scenes
  1. Real-Time sound of Hometown

Sound can touch people's senses, and it reminds people of many scenes in their minds. There are many voices in the city, such as the sound of children playing, the noise of the noisy food market and so on. We hope to create an immersive experience by stimulating hearing, allowing users to remotely hear the sound of their hometown and feel like they are at home.


Satellite technology: the bus can report the station in real time through the satellite positioning technology. Therefore, we would like to build a sound collection station on the bus through this technology, and collect the sounds of the city while the bus is driving.


Users can search for Radio signals in foreign cities to listen to the real-time sound of the hometown city and the sound of the bus stop and let the sound warm their hearts.

2. Real-Time Scenes from Hometown


People who are in a foreign country can not witness the changes in their hometowns. We want to help users see the changes in their hometowns through satellites.


The satellite has a remote sensing function. It can record real-time 3D scenes of a location, so the changes in the location over time can be seen. We plan to design a smart satellite photo album to process the photos taken by the user in his hometown, and the user can see the real-time changes in his hometown.


How it works:When the user upload the photo to the smart photo album, the person in the photo will be separated from the background. The background behind will be removed. And the background will change based on the GPS information. It will update the changes in the hometown in real time.
