Through the observation of users' camping kitchen behavior, it was found that problems such as difficult handling and cumbersome operation were common. Therefore, the Escape Camping Kitchen System was designed to streamline and optimize the operation line of camping kitchens to solve the above pain points, significantly improving and enhancing the camping kitchen experience of users.
- Research
- Type of research: research on camping kitchen system and product design based on user behavior analysis; Purpose: to improve the systematicity and user experience of camping kitchenware; Method: interview method, natural observation method, demand priority analysis method; Tools: questionnaire, AEIOU behavior analysis model (behavior, environment, interaction, object, user), Kano demand analysis model; Participants: camping enthusiasts; Results and Insights: improved systematization of camping kitchenware and solved problems in the camping kitchen process, improved user experience.
- Challenge
- In terms of data collection means, this study mainly relies on more subjective qualitative research methods such as interviews and behavioral observations, and is limited to surveys of some user groups in limited camping scenarios, which may make the generalizability and representativeness of the results somewhat constrained.
- Realization and Technology
- In the pre-design stage, interviews and observations of camping users are conducted to understand the explicit and implicit needs of users in the process of camping meals and kitchens, and the Kano model is applied to analyze the needs to get the priority of users' needs in the process of camping meals and kitchens, and the design is carried out in accordance with this. In the design process, ergonomics is fully considered and users are invited to test the product to improve and optimize it.
