About Warmth of Projection 電子體溫計

《投影之暖》係一款電子體溫計,設計目的係減輕測量體溫時嘅緊張感。呢款裝置運用凸透鏡成像原理,將LED顯示嘅溫度放大,並將數字投影到被測者嘅手臂上。投影將注意力由顯示屏轉移到手臂,令使用者可以快速、從容咁睇到目前嘅體溫。圓潤嘅外形令產品顯得柔和親切。外殼採用塑膠射出成型工藝,配合通用零件製造,以控制成本。呢款體溫計重62.4克。

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The team design the cordial and gentle product feeling shape, and try to make the whole temperature measurement process easy and fast. The team realized a subconscious psychological action that glancing at the display screen, a feeling of wanting to know current temperature. Therefore, it eliminates some anxiety in the process of temperature measurement by shifting the focus of the person being tested. The design use the principle of convex lens imaging to project the temperature number displayed by LED on the arm.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 50mm x Depth 35mm x Height 122 mm,weight is 62.4g.

Production Technology: Statistics of the mean distance between the thermometer and the arm during temperature measurement. The design use the principle of convex lens imaging to magnify the temperature displayed by the LED and project it onto the arm of the tested person.
Reduce production costs by using plastic injection molding processes to produce shells and assembly using common parts.
Design Challenge: The team hope to change the temperature measurement experience with a sustainable design that can be immediately put into the market and has low cost. During the design process, team have been thinking about how to relieve people's anxiety and uneasiness in the process of temperature measurement under the epidemic through design. Finally, team found a kind of subconscious psychological action of the tested person and used it to relieve anxiety and uneasiness.
Research: People's way of life has changed under the pressure of the epidemic, and the invisible pressure has intensified in each temperature measurement. This design study hopes to improve the process. The core of the project is the unconscious behavior that people want to know the temperature when they measure the temperature and the sense of peace brought by the rounded curve, so that people can feel a warmth in the epidemic situation through the design.
Inspiration: In the environment of the epidemic, every temperature measurement seems to be a trial. During the constant simulation of the actual temperature measurement scene. The team realized a subconscious psychological action of the tested person that " glancing at the display screen, a feeling of wanting to know current temperature". Therefore, the design want to eliminate some anxiety in the process of temperature measurement by shifting the focus of the person being tested.
Project Duration: The project began in Zhengzhou in July 2020 and was completed in Shanghai in September 2020.
Operation Flow: During using, the temperature will be projected onto the arm of the subject, thus shifting the subject's attention from the thermometer to the arm temperature. This will not only let the subject know the current temperature, but also reduce the excessive attention to the thermometer, thus eliminating the subject's anxiety. There is a two-way interaction between the thermometers and their subjects through a projection of temperature, a small projection of warmth gives a relaxation to the public under the epidemic.
