碩士 === 元智大學 === 資訊傳播學系 === 97 === In the past, users often interacted with the virtual images of interactive media. They were unable to touch the real, tangible objects. The process of invisible creativity of interactive media usually brings many differences between the designer’s conceptual model and that of user’s mental model. It makes users mayn’t receive the messages well from designers. And the design of interactive media mayn’t satisfy the user’s needs either. During the research, we tried to design an interactive media with tangible interfaces. By considering the topic of public welfare to people, we discussed that by the use of tangible interfaces of designed media, whether the meanings of media contents can be delivered to the users or not while users interacted and experienced the creative works. The proposed media works would follow the “design – build – evaluate – reflect” design cycles, to iteratively improve the design. The research result reflected that through the “design-build-evaluate-reflect” design cycles. The differences between the design’s “conceptual model” and that of the user’s “mental model” can be effectively reduced. In addition to experience the media, through the interactive and reflective processes, the users may transfer the meanings of contents to their own experiences.
