3. • Since my undergraduate major was industrial
design, I begin with a product design.
Product: Little Keeper
Usage: to help people find little things at home.
Designer: Wu Zumei
Time: 2006

4. Sometimes it happens
that when you need some
little things such as keys
and purse, you just
cannot find it at home.
So I designed this device
name ‘little keeper’ to
address such issues as
one of the undergraduate
assignments.

5. Little keeper

6. This product design combine
creativity and practice.
It is especially suitable for older
people who easily forget things,
and young kids who like to put
their things everywhere.

7. • I am really interested in Internet product
design, so my final year project in
undergraduate was a website development.
Project title: Information Needs Analysis Based on personas
Objective: to design a website for Hunan science museum .
Team members: Wu Zumei& Yuan Shu
Time: 2009

13. It was part of the big design plan (e.g.
display design and website design) for
our supervisor to submit a bit to Hunan
science museum. Hence, we didn’t
have chance to meet the museum staff
as it was far away from us.
My partner and I took this project as
a chance to practice the usability
knowledge we’ve learned.

14. • This project provided useful suggestions for
elderly game design, and it showed my
ability beyond design.
Project: Comparison effects between traditional exercise and
exergame on the elderly
Purpose: to investigate factors that affect elderly exercise
participation.
Investigators: Wu Zumei, Dr Theng Yin-Leng, & Dr Chang Yun-Ke.
Time: 2010-2012

15. Background
 In Singapore, one in five residents will be a senior (aged above 65) by 2030 [1].
 Majority of the seniors are sedentary and reluctant to exercise. For example, 61%
of Singapore senior didn’t participate into any exercise [2].

16. Study design
 Research aim: to promote senior exercise participation.
 Research objective: to investigate factors that influence senior exercise
participation. Specially, we focused on enjoyment and social interaction.

18. Study findings
After 4-week intervention, a interview-administrated survey was conducted.
SPSS and Amos were used to analysis the data. Here are some selected
findings:
 Compared to traditional exercise , the effect of exergame on motivating
elderly exercise was lower. Future exergame design should add some
traditional elements to minimize unfamiliar feelings towards interactive
technology among the eldelry.
 In contrast to previous literature, enjoyment has little influence on elderly
exercise intentions. Moreover, there is no different influence between
exergame and traditional exercise on enjoyment, which indicated
exergame design should integrate more enjoyable features.
 Social interaction has a positive influence on elderly exercise intentions.
Future exergame design should pay attention on social interaction as most
of the elderly are suffering loneliness and social isolation.
 Collaborative play pattern should be encouraged to be used in elderly
exergame design and exercise promotion as it could bring the feeling of
togetherness .

19. Through these two-year academic
research study, I’ve learned
proficient writing skill, statistical
analysis, logistic and
comprehensive thinking, as well
as ability to work independently
and self-disciplined. Now, I am
ready to go back to industry with
more confidence.

20. As shown above, my main design interest focuses on
interactive media design. Here I want to show you
more of my design works.

27. I am really interested in interaction design, so I made the following
slides for my undergraduate teacher to teach interaction design.
English version:
• Title: Interaction design
Chinese version:
• Title: Interaction design introduction
• Title: How to conduct interaction design
• Title: Developing and using personas

28. I am seeking a position like
Human Interaction
designer, User Experience
designer, or others, which
could help to develop and
improve product by
understanding the need of
users or customers. Hope to
get a chance from you.
