Concept ↓
In today's digital landscape, communication faces new challenges. While technology has connected us globally, digital channels often hinder clear expression and understanding.
This project utilizes design thinking to delve into everyday digital interactions, specifically exploring empathy gaps in asynchronous communication.
Through prototyping and iterations, the project introduces "Tone" — a small plug-in that can be integrated into common online work communication platforms.
The concept leverages AI to promote diversity of perspective and nurture empathy, aiming to transform online text-based communication.
在当今的数字环境中，沟通面临着新的挑战。虽然技术让我们在全球范围内建立了连接，但数字渠道往往阻碍了清晰的表达和理解。
本项目运用设计思维深入日常数字交互，特别探索异步通信中的共情缺口。
通过原型设计和迭代，项目推出了"Tone"——一个可以集成到常用在线工作通信平台中的小插件。
该概念利用AI促进视角的多元化并培养共情能力，旨在改变在线文字沟通方式。
