| Abstract |
As the functions and values of chairs have evolved over time, the design of futuristic chairs in science fiction has served as a reflection of the direction of future society, culture, and technological development. The objective of this study is to propose the futuristic chair design that creatively integrates the characteristics of digital space transfer technology with a view to enhancing the user experience. In order to achieve the aforementioned objective, it was necessary to conduct the research and design processes in accordance with the following methodology. A comprehensive review of extant literature has revealed the evolution of the functions and values of chairs, with the advent of technological advancements playing a pivotal role in this transformation. The value and direction of futuristic design were studied by analyzing various chair designs depicted in science fiction. The value of digital space transfer technology was recognized by investigating technological trends such as digital virtual spaces and VR devices. Following comprehensive research into non-invasive BCI technology, novel materials, and ergonomic design, these findings will be incorporated into the chair. And based on the IDEO design process, we proposed the futuristic chair design process. Based on this process, we proposed the features and form of the digital space transfer chair design. After this, the conceptual design phase of the project was initiated. This study proposes new functions and values for the chair of the future. The chair's futuristic design, characterized by its unique shape that seamlessly integrates technology and functionality, is a notable aspect of the collection. The futuristic chair design and design process areanticipated that this will provide a basis for the direction of future society and technology. |
