Abstract

In order to solve the problem of poor user experience and low satisfaction of infants and parents caused by insufficient research into existing products for toddlers, a design is proposed. Based on the design and development process, this research takes pre-existing dual user research as its core and uses literature research, focus group and other methods to determine dual user needs, as well as the Kano model to determine the demand attribute classification of the mixed methods of qualitative and quantitative research. Then, in this research, we design a system to help infants learn to walk that conforms to the characteristics of an infant's physical and psychological development and meets the needs of parent users. The system can guide an infant in actively learning to walk through a multisensory interactive approach; meanwhile, parents' fatigue and anxiety regarding children walking will be relieved during this period. In the final stage of this research, we design a product prototype to test the usability of the system. The research method can also be applied to other types of product design, and the design cue map obtained through user research has reference significance for other infant products.
