The Intelligent Redesign of Traditional Chinese Wooden Toys from Embodied Cognition

Chinese traditional wooden structure toys have a long history, and the way of unlocking them is exquisite and ingenious, but they are gradually vanished from modern society, therefore it is necessary to redesign them intelligently. Based on embodied cognition theory, this paper analyzes the contact points of users when using products in specific use scenarios, and explores the design possibility of traditional wooden toys. This design case takes the pagoda shaped wooden board and mortise and tenon blocks of different materials and colors as the main body of the product, with sensors and Arduino circuit boards inside, which are connected to the mobile terminal of the tablet computer to provide help and record the user history of toys. The purpose of this research is to make the traditional wooden toys adapt to the modern society through redesign.
