Production 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.

Design 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.
