INTRODUCTION

Since

1980s,

human

beings

including

the

children

have

entered

a

digital

age.

Under

the

influence

of

the

advanced

information,

early

stage

education

machines,

electronic

building

blocks,

electronic

wall

charts,

and

other

new

toys

have

become

children's

new

favorites.

With the

influence

of

the

west

teaching

philosophy-

based

learning

parents

are

strongly

agreed

with

such

toys

for

children.

These

modern educational toys will become the mainstream of toy development due to their

promotion of children's learning, practical ability, creativity and imagination.

Interaction

exists

in

all

things

contacted

by

humans,

and

interactive

design

emerged to design a kind of communication and dialogue between human and objects

to minimize the

wide range of applications in designing educational toys.

THE

PLAN

AND

BENEFITS

OF

THE

INTERACTIVE

MODE

OF

CHILDREN 'S TOYS

The rise of various digital technologies, such as voice recognition, 3D video, and

virtual

reality

technology

etc.,

gives

new

experience

to

people's

perception.

The

author aimed to apply these new digital technologies to the researches of interactive

educational toys design.

The plan of the interactive mode of children's educational toys:

2.1. Voice Interaction

Voice

interaction

voice

includes

touch

voice

interaction,

voice

command

interaction

and

intelligent

voice

interaction.

Touch

voice

interaction

and

voice

command interaction have been very common, such as electronic wall charts, televox;

家具设计中英文对照外文翻译文献

intelligent voice interaction is the author's aim to create a genuine dialogue between

children and simulation toys through digital technology, to foster children's language

ability, particularly in a family with only one child, the children need a

accompany them to learn and play with.

2.2. Video Interaction

Video

interaction

can

be

divided

into

2D

image

interaction

and

3D

video

interaction.

The

former

has

been

broadly

used

in

toys,

such

as

in

multimedia

courseware, image or video of horse will appear when referring to

interaction is the author's aim to apply 3D projection technology in the

for instance, when referring to a green grassland, a grassland projection will appear so

that

children

feel

like

being

on

the

grassland,

which

enhances

children's

learning

experience; meanwhile, this enhanced emotional experience will prolong the memory

retention time or even extend to a ultra- long-term memory.

2.3. Narrative Interaction

Narrative interaction is

to conceive

a story

for the toy and offer a task role for

children to make them participate in the story. The steps are shown in Figure 1:

Fig. 1. The steps of

narrative interaction

Based

on

children's

curiosity

and

imitation

psychology

as

well

as

the

investigation

of

the

games,

the

author

found

the

correct

application

of

story

interaction

in educational toys can greatly mobilize children's learning enthusiasm,

for example, we conceive an English learning

process as treasure hunt activity. In

this

activity,

the

words

are

hidden

in

the

treasure

box,

and

children

themselves

are

explorers, if they put one or a few words together, they will get a treasure box, and

they

can

also

make

a

competition

with

peers

to

get

the

treasure

boxes.

Through

establishment of game theme, selection of roles, and plot development in the activities,

children

not

only

increase

their

knowledge

of

English,

also

learn

how

to

get

along

with peers and develop good self-awareness.

2.4. Web Virtual Reality Interaction

Web virtual

reality interaction is

virtual

imaging

through network

connections,

making you feel like your partners sitting, playing and learning with you, to deliberate

家具设计中英文对照外文翻译文献

the loneliness in the contemporary families, and promote children's learning initiative

in the competitive context.

Psychological

research

shows

that

with

respect

to

the

learners,

the

learning

behavior resulting in emotional pleasure experience will produce a positive emotional

resonance,

thereby

enhancing

the

learners'

learning

initiative

and

enthusiasm.

The

realistic

educational-game

scenario

created

by

interactive

educational

toys

for

children not only brings emotional pleasure experience to children so that learning is

no longer boring for them with a purpose of mobilizing the enthusiasm of study and

developing

creative

thinking,

but

also

enhances

children's

social

communication

ability to help children establish good social character favorable for their life.

Parents are head-ached on children's learning English, so we focus on developing

an interactive English learning toy to help the children remembering words in game

scenario and stimulate their interests in learning English, and training children's hand

operation and brain coordination.

via the bus. LED dot matrix character display module consists of driver chips and the

8*8 LED matrix. MCU bus control LED dot matrix character display module via I2C

to show the corresponding English letters. Action back module tests and captures the

player's actions during the game for the MCU to judge whether the player conducts

normal actions to control the game process.

China is a large country of toy manufacturing, but it still remains in the stage of

imitating

foreign

design,

especially

in

educational

toy

design.

The

research

and

practice of interactive educational toys in this study is expected to give some thought

and inspiration to toy designers so as to further promote the development of Chinese

toy industry.

Toy development and design based on the needs of

older

persons

Abstract

:

In china, aging

and the life-quality

of older persons has become today

’

s

important issues of social concern, and how to solve this problem thus turns to be an

important challenge in the design and development of supplies for the old. Now, the

ensuing ways to solve varied. For instance, the design community has put emphasis

on the design and development of the supplies for the old, but a large part of these de

signs were for medical care and medical products of the senior person. The designs

家具设计中英文对照外文翻译文献

for the vast majority of the healthy people in their senior age are rarely involved. In

this, I think, for the function of toys, the emphasis on the development of physical and

mental health of older persons is the key, so to rethink the development of toys for the

old persons in china is one of the ways.

Keywords:

Toys for the old, Needs design, humane care

Mentions of the toys, we always unconsciously think of the innocent children, as

if

toys

are

belongings.

With

the

improvement

of

living

standards,

emphasis on the toys is constantly improved. To meet the needs of children, various

designs are brought out, and then from luxury goods, toys have gradually become the

child

’

s necessities. However, the authorities of the china toy association state that the

toy

is

expanded.

Toys

not

only inspire children, but also become the recreation products for the seniors. The old

also need toys that could meet their spiritual needs and enrich their life in later years.

Status of the development and design of toys for the seniors

In

china, toy for the old

is

still an industry to

be developed. Senior people, as

customers, they have needs and also purchasing power, but no targeted toys for them.

There

are

as much as 130 million

seniors in

china who would be

a huge consumer

group, but the research and development of toys for old consumers has lagged behind

developed country for more than 30 years.

In America, the toys designed for the senior amount to 40% of the toy market.

The toy market

for old

persons is

more mature. They have many toy

stores

for the

seniors throughout the urban and rural areas. Also our neighbor Japan does well in the

development of toys for the old persons, and most toy companies have produced toys

for seniors, and continued to introduce new products.
