My Question
Imaging is a human behavior that emphasizes on capturing, storing, and retrieving information from the images. !Imaging technologies amplify (also filter) our imagining powers, we must surely note another kind of power: the power to incite others to imagine. !Some people have such powers while others lack them. Since the mere imaging of situations can strongly affect human conception, desire, and behavior, those powers lead to wider ones, now much amplified by technologies (Maynard, 2000).

Metaphors are the fundamental concepts, terms, and images by which information is easily recognized, understood, and remembered. Metaphors are commonly used to explain something unfamiliar or hard to grasp by way of comparison with something that is familiar and easy to grasp.(Wiley, 2004) !

“She is on the top of the situation”
“There is nothing in sight”

Metaphor
Metaphor involves imaging since it can make connection of invisibleand analogies as a source of explain to others what they are doing or trying to do, in terms that are familiar to them.(Lakoff & Johnson, 2003).
Photography as picture making and photographs as marked surfaces, whether permanent or transient (on screens), as depictions, prescribers and enticers of our imaginations, they are functional objects. (Maynard,2000) !Photography highly defined compositional form falsifies the medium, which is the joint product of the organizing mind and physical reality. (Kracauer,1960)
Existing Studies
“A website never sleeps”
Imaging Technologies This project is attempting to
combine metaphor and photography with human to establish a website and to inspire more possibilities in interaction design.
The Theory of User Judgment of Aesthetics and User Interface Quality, Angeli, et al., 2006
1.1 Interaction Design:
1 Background - Literature Review
In interaction design, calling attention is the process of selecting things to concentrate on, at a point in time, from the range of possibilities available.
PhotoVoice Photographic Data !Extracted and Interpreted (multiple ways) !Call Attention
Reference Visual Anthropology: Photography as a Research Method, Collier
Interaction Design: Beyond human-computer interaction, John Wiley
The definition of “hidden letter” photographs, are photographs that contain an abstract symbolic shape that can be more or less interpreted as a “hidden letter” in it.
“Hidden Letter” Photographs=Metaphor+Photography
2.1 First-person perspective !2.2 Multiple person perspectives !2.3 Inspiration !

Reference www.mindmapinspiration.co.uk
Expectation A reasonable web design
2.1 First-Person Perspective
Obvious or Unobvious? Amplified alphabetical shapes? Amplified Imagination? New emotion?
Reason1: Metaphor & Words (philosophy of language/human cognition) Reason2: Non-textual & Textual information (photo/alphabet) Reason3: Human & Nature (limited/strengthen)
2.2 Multiple-Person Perspectives
2.2.1 Photo Classification
Platform: Facebook, Wechat Human: Graduate students from Digital Worlds Institute !!Conduction: 1, Gave them the definition of “hidden letter” photographs 2,Asked for picking 12 obvious and 5 unobvious according to the definition
2.2.2 Metaphorical Stimulus Comparison 5 point likert scale 1:1 Gender distribution
2.2 Multiple-Person Perspectives
Difference
General Questions - Difference of the importance ranking
2.2.2 Metaphorical Stimulus Comparison
Pre Importance
Post Importance
2.2 Multiple-Person Perspectives
Result: the least important “usefulness” showed the most positive increase after metaphorical stimulus(Group A).
Specific Questions - Difference of Average Scores
2.2.2 Metaphorical Stimulus Comparison
2.2 Multiple-Person Perspectives
Result: the lowest score is “usefulness” on average.
Specific Questions - Fluctuation of each indexes
8 Obvious
4 Unobvious
2.2.2 Metaphorical Stimulus Comparison
2.2 Multiple-Person Perspectives
Sum (obvious_Talk&Share) + Sum (unobvious_Talk&Share) = 3.1 + 1.6 = 4.7; Sum (obvious_Usefulness) + Sum (unobvious_Usefulness) = 2.5 + 2 = 4.5. !Result: the biggest differences between A and B are “usefulness” and “talk & share” .
• Photographer-photographee interactive experiment - multiple person/multiple photo data • Design - more functional/more content • Metaphor in interaction design - double edges/go in more depth
Literature ReviewIRB Protocol Design Draft
4.1 First Person Perspective
Preference Questionnaire Design is a process of iteration
4.2 Multiple Person Perspectives
Feedback for design
• Questionnaire - explanation/imagination by other visual components • Feedback - more organized/more critical • Design is a process of iteration - more tests/more feedback (in a long run)
4.3 More
Researchers • Differences: Non-art & art students • The camera as a research tool • Photography Therapy !Designers • Enthusiasm for science • Interesting and informative experience • The role of human
