Analysis : Dining

 

In this page, I made some analysis about essential point of dining.

Part 1 : Dining Process Analysis

Dining process is complex combination of meaningful movement. In this part, focusing on dish and cutlery, diagram captured movement of body traced by tableware. In generic western meal, they move the way shown above through whole mealtime from drinking water to finishing dessert.

 

 

 

 

 

Part 2 : Dining Aspect Analysis

In this diagram, dining was analysed focusing on three different aspect. ‘Conversation’, ‘Having own food’, and ‘Pass and Share Food’ are considered as three factors worthy of being noticeable in general dining. In order to predict virtual dining in the future, I expect what kind of aspects can either be invited or cast away while we plan simulated activity.

 

Sharing will be cast away in Virtual Dining

 ‘Conversation’, ‘Having own food’ will be invited but ‘Pass and Share Food’ will be cast away. This conclusion gave me a clue about how virtual dining activity in the future would be looks like. The space would be the container of this activity and give a response to new way of eating.
