A Study on the Introduction and Significance of Design and Creative Human Resources in Local Governments

A Case of Ideation Based on Design Thinking in the Follow-up Training for New Municipal Office Workers in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture.

Abstract

Abstract : Times This research project develops a multi-sensory product design to support mindfulness practices by integrating visual, auditory, and tactile feedback. The study reviews current mindfulness devices and introduces an interactive prototype that uses an air pressure system to simulate breathing, linear motors for nuanced haptic responses, and LED lighting for ambient effects. Results indicate that multi-modal stimulation enhances mindfulness engagement, although issues like system instability, noise, and overheating persist. Future improvements will focus on design refinement and miniaturization.
