Lune: Representing lunar day by displayed lighting object

Abstract

LUNE is a displayed lighting object representing time. It provides real-time lighting visualized moon phase. People can recognize the date of month through abstract image of moon. This product was developed to investigate the use of metaphor from lighting to represent time. A diverse set of researches and design initiatives related to time, temporality and slowness has emerged in the DIS and HCI communities. An important area of work is to represent time. The primary objective of this research is to suggest the new perspective of time called sense of time. First, we can understand how people perceive the time and we can also trace recent research related to perspectives of time in HCI. Second, we designed artifacts and investigated the use of moon phase as material to represent time in a new approach. We suppose to flexibility with perspective of time to HCI research and practice. Our work aims to precisely contribute to the new of representing perspective of time.
