Our emotions can be conveyed through expressions and have the power to influence people around us. How do different emotions affect each other when they are together? Will happiness and sorrow counterbalance? Does anger cause a butterfly effect? Which kind of emotion will make the snake grow stronger rather than kill it? The answer is simple, happiness. We are generating emojis based on facial expressions. Different emojis have different powers. Try to keep growing the snake with happiness.
Biographies:
Jin Ni: Undergraduate student at the Cheung Kong School of Art & Design at Shantou University, majoring in Digital Media Art. My passion are games as they can bring happiness to people. I find it more challenging for me to design games rather than just to play them. Playful narratives and entertaining interactions are the creative language I am trying to use to communicate my ideas.
Huang Mingyuan: Undergraduate student at the Cheung Kong School of Art & Design at Shantou University, majoring in Product Design. The concept of design is constantly evolving, and the product is invisible, but the most important aspect is our design thinking. I started experimenting with classmates from different disciplines and found a lot of things that were not accessible to my professional field. I have now become less concerned with what is designed but more about why I design and how to improve in a creative way.
Zhengren Chen: A senior student at Shantou University, China, majoring in mechatronic engineering. Apart from mechatronic engineering, he is also interested in Arduino circuit applications and has applied his knowledge to various interactive design projects. Chen is particularly familiar with optimal maneuvering of robotic manipulators. He was awarded “Scholarship for Outstanding Contribution to Academic Science and Technology” for the years 2017 and 2018 respectively at Shantou University.
