PotBot is an artificial intelligence-powered hot pot generator, meticulously designed for our partner, Big Way Hot Pot. This cutting-edge solution addresses the challenges faced by their clientele by leveraging standardized interaction design methodologies. Our in-depth analysis of Big Way Hot Pot allowed us to reframed the design issues from an interaction design perspective. By doing so, we have crafted a innovative digital solution that represents a strategic amalgamation of AI technology and user-centered design.

The SIAT Equipment Booking system, created by the IT team over 20 years ago, serves the specific needs of SIAT students. As the library prioritizes other resources, this system was designed to move away from paper-based borrowing and primarily functions as a tracking tool to ensure sufficient equipment availability for students.
However, several usability issues were found due to it being an external system. In response, the library is redesigning the system and highly values the feedback from students. Consequently, the library invited us to conduct a comprehensive study of the system, using the data we gathered to inform and enhance the redesign process.

Games can be effective in enhancing interpersonal interactions and promoting meaningful relationships. However, careful consideration must be given to the gameplay and settings to avoid total immersion of participants in the simulated environment.
It is crucial that the role of machines does not dominate and that game mechanics prioritize collaboration, communication, physical interaction and multi-player participation to achieve the goal of enhancing human interaction.
I believe that in the future of the game industry, aspects related to the use of digital media to enhance human-computer interaction will become increasingly sophisticated. Further research and projects based on these foundations will undoubtedly advance the field.
