TASTE YOUR VOICE
Using food design to increase the interaction with people, the design concept is to make the sound visual. My design allows people to increase their friendship and entertainment in the bar. "Taste Your Voice" is a mechanical candy-making machine that uses the frequency of people's different voices to make different shapes of chewing gum. Let users not only eat unique chewing gum and have a good smelling in the mouth but also have more entertainment in the bar.
Sugar people
Sugar people is a traditional Chinese form of folk art using hot, liquid sugar to create three-dimensional figures.
Problem Statement
In the traditional sugar blowing process, the sugar master in China heats the sugar first, and then the master quickly blows into the inside when the candy reaches a certain temperature while shaping it with hands and tools.
This handicraft is too traditional, these masters only use small bicycles to sell these sugar people, and there is no package of this sugar, the process of blowing sugar also has no tool or straws to help. Thus, the lack of health protection has led people to gradually ignore their existence, fewer and fewer people will buy sugar people. This craft is gradually being lost.
My goal is to use a clean and hygienic way to turn such a traditional handmade method into a more entertaining and interactive new experience.

SCENE EXPANSION
Multifunctional bar
Scene Description
The multifunctional bar is more tolerant and diversified, where it is suitable for making new friends. In this space, users can sing, dance on the dancing floor, people also can build good social contact with others, play drafts and billiards with friends. The bar also has a treat for their guests that is guests can order the music in the bar.
My concept is to make the traditional sugar blowing process more interactive, so a multifunctional bar is the right place where young people can come into contact with this interesting craft.

Design Concept
The whole design sets the location of the sugar blowing in the multifunctional bar, a major feature of the multifunctional bar is the singing service. So my final project will combine blowing things with sound, changing the traditional mode of blowing into the sugar, and changing it to using people's voices to make sweets. Since each person's voice has a different tone, my concept is to convert it into a mechanical blowing frequency, which will produce different blowing sizes and blowing patterns according to each person's voice.
Material Experiment
Blow molding can be combined with the musical rhythm. In addition, by testing the wind speed, wind temperature, and the distance between the wind and the material, the most suitable blow molding mode is finally selected.
SKETCHES
PROTOTYPE
The design inspiration is from the face sculpture. I want to give users a deep first impression. When the user noticed the machine for the first time, they can realize what is the machine doing and be interested in trying it.
