Reflection

The relationship between people and reading

From the beginning, the aim of this project is to spread the value of reading books.

Since libraries play a role of city community center with modern resource management

systems, I studied how a library appeals people and how to offer better service, in the

perspective of the relation between people and books. In my opinion, the solution

would not only be a useful object, but also service which interests people in reading

books and get benefit from it.

I have a thought regarding the full text search system and hope people would make use

of it to benefit reading. Google Books project is dedicated to such a full text search

system that people could find information from searching titles of books and contents

on exact pages of a book. I believe that it helps to spread knowledge and the value of

reading, as we could find rare and valuable materials and read entire books which are in

the full text system online.

How to make people like reading and start to read and discover more? Is there a way to

connect books that are relevant? Is there a way to help reading books in this internet

society? What about the need of gathering and sorting information which becomes

daily task for everyone? Many questions are raised related to reading and information

processing, in a perspective of the relationship between reading as human culture and

people themselves.

It took me a long way to get to this result. I have been looking into the issues of reading,

and focus on the relationship between people and reading from the first beginning,

from reading in the library to reading books with the need of working with the texts.

Reading is such a cultural activity that people have such profound feelings for books

which have been traditional reading media all along. Books are something we should

not give up, but we welcome techniques to make reading more interesting and effective.

Therefore, this “Reading Partner” is designed to play a role to bridge printed material to

digital world.

When the direction of design was fixed, the focus changed. A pen scanner which is

comfortable to use becomes the most important. User experience is crucial, involving

smooth operation and pleasant emotion. I was inspired by pebbles, and showed the

sketch model and described the intention to a few readers, and they all agreed that it is

nice to simulate holding a pebble which brought a hint of calm affection.

It is very interesting to study the relationship between people and reading, especially

since the issue of e-reading has being discussed a lot lately. I am here to give my

opinion that books cannot be replaced, instead, we find a way to use it as it is the
