- As a digital interactive platform, two types of UX design were implemented to make it easier to search by level of understanding of science and technology. The first is the "Mind Map", a logical search, which allows users to logically find ideas by concept from the academic disciplines linked to the various laboratories. Another is the "Illustration Overview", where you can search using visual language, and even if you don't have a lot of expertise in science and technology, you can find ideas that interest you through illustrations.
