I was inspired by the concept of 'Kihno,' a type of album that uses smart card technology to store music, videos, and other multimedia content. It is accessible through a mobile app and has gained popularity among K-pop music fans. The format includes interactive and engaging elements such as photo cards, lyrics, and behind-the-scenes footage. I am interested in researching the various mechanisms, such as smart cards, NFC, or Bluetooth, that could make the product user-friendly. My goal is to create a similar product as an ornament for children and families to have a special and sentimental memory during the holiday season. This project could also bring together different industries to collaborate on its production.
Christmas ornaments hold significant sentimental and emotional value for many families. Each ornament holds a special story, whether it's from a couple's first Christmas together, a child's first Christmas with their grandparents.
The act of unpacking and reminiscing about the ornaments each year is a cherished tradition that brings families closer together. The tradition of decorating with ornaments is not just about the decorations themselves but also the memories and stories that they represent. It's a unique and heartwarming tradition that brings warmth and joy to the holiday season.
A live streaming concert can offer a similar experience to attending a Christmas concert in person. There are already many streaming services available online, but I aim to create a unique experience for children by incorporating the excitement of receiving and opening a Christmas gift with a virtual concert in the form of an ornament.
