Hi, I'm Runxi—a creative researcher passionate about design and technology.
I received my bachelor's degree (2022) in Art and Technology from the School of Innovation Design at China Academy of Art, where I was honored as a provincial and university-level outstanding graduate. I then pursued a master's degree (2025) in Art-Empowered Innovation and Technology (Intelligence and Ecology track) through the university's recommendation system. I conducted research internships at Tongji University's School of Design and Innovation in the Intelligent Big Data Visualization Lab, and later worked as a Visual Design Engineer at iFlytek.

My current goal is to become a human-computer interaction researcher. My research interests include well-being-centered interactions, future empathy design, sustainable human-computer interaction, and data narrative experiences. I explore how design can transform definitions, create compelling user experiences, and foster creative learning and sustainable development.

摘要 ABSTRACT

本文提出一种以雕塑为媒介的隐喻式数据实体化方案，融合新媒体与热感应技术呈现全球变暖数据。该实体化方案以动物毛色变化隐喻全球气温上升，直观展现气候变化的影响。为深化观众体验，项目引入热感应技术，使参观者能通过体温与雕塑互动，直接影响可视化效果，象征人类对全球变暖的贡献。通过整合隐喻与互动元素，该项目弥合了抽象数据与人类体验的鸿沟，创造出可触摸的沉浸式体验。它不仅实现数据可视化，更激发情感共鸣，促使观众反思气候行动的紧迫性。该项目深化了人们对人类活动如何影响环境变化的认知，强调采取行动缓解全球变暖影响的重要性。

This paper introduces an metaphoric data physicalization that employs sculpture as a medium, incorporating new media and heat sensing technologies to convey global warming data. The data physicalization employs shifts in animal fur coloration as metaphors for global temperature increases, visually illustrating the impact of climate change. To engage audiences further, the project incorporates heat sensing technology, allowing visitors to interact with the sculptures and directly influence the visualizations through their body heat, symbolizing human contributions to global warming. By integrating these metaphors and interactive elements, the project bridges the gap between abstract data and human experience, creating a tangible, immersive experience. It not only visualizes data but also evokes emotional engagement, encouraging audiences to reflect on the urgent need for climate action. It fosters a deeper understanding of how human activities influence environmental change, highlighting the importance of taking action to mitigate the effects of global warming.
