Interaktivna plošča nacionalne identitete

Tyutyunnyk, Marianna (author), Kuhar, Rok (mentor)

Emigration, migrant workers, foreigners, refugees... We hear all these words every day. I am also a stranger in Slovenia. My home country, Ukraine, has been going through hard times for the last few years. Therefore, unfortunately, we are one of the leaders in terms of the number of emigrants from the country. However, no matter how much hope people have for and effort they put in a new place, even in a better economically and safer country it is always hard to adapt. All of us, emigrants, often experience difficulty with adaptation at the first time. Or we quickly dive into a new culture and later, after a while, we are overtaken by nostalgia, we begin to miss the past or the people we had left behind. Emigration, relocation and new culture cause many difficulties for a person, who has to go through hopes and disappointments, ups and downs. All of this can awake strong feelings and emotions in people, which are not always positive. Therefore, I would really like to give emigrants a ray of sunshine — a positive emotion which my product will give to a user bringing back happy warm recollections. With such people in mind I set out to create my product, a product of a national character that would facilitate the life and difficult moments of adaptation for strangers in their new country of residence. The target audience of the product are Ukrainian emigrants, since I share their culture and way of thinking, having grown up and spent most of my life in Ukraine. Through research and individual interviews were revealed the main symbols which Ukrainians associate with their home country. The main symbol is the wheat field. Desiring to convey all the rich perception of the sensations of this symbol, I began to analyse all the latest technologies aimed with helping in the transmission of tactile and sound sensations. I was inspired by the idea of an interactive panel. Working on my prototype, I have discovered the concept of the design of the five senses. I was inspired by this idea and decided to use it as a basic idea of a theoretical concept. During the modelling phase and adapting various advanced technologies for the best implementation of the idea and its efficiency, the final product was identified. Touch mirror, which not only allows a person to see the wheat field, but also his/her reflection in it. A mirror can be used on everyday household level, and be the subject of a working interior, which will enable a person to relax and escape for a while from their working routine. This product might give a user the opportunity to experience tactile, visual, sound and olfactory sensations. Therefore I would dare to say that it claims to be the product of all five senses. This is the area addressed by the research described in this thesis.

Abstract

V času modeliranja in prilagajanja raznih tehnologij za najboljšo implementacijo ideje sem odkrila končni izdelek. Interaktivno ogledalo, ki ne omogoča osebi le pogled na pšenično polje, vendar tudi svoj lastni odsev. Ogledalo lahko uporabljamo v vsakdanu in je lahko subjekt delujoče notranjosti, ki omogoča sprostitev in kratek pobeg pred delovno rutino. Ta izdelek omogoča občutke tipa, vida, zvoka in vonja. Upam si celo trditi, da je ogledalo izdelek vseh petih čutil, kar boste tudi sami ugotovili v moji magistrski nalogi.
