Interactive motion graphics development: User experience design themed on the 24 solar terms integrating biological rhythms
Abstract
This study aims to explore the development of interactive motion graphics themed around the “24 solar terms” from a biomechanical perspective, integrating user experience design with biorhythm concepts. Biorhythms refer to the biomechanical changes in humans, animals, and plants in response to different solar terms. The 24 solar terms, a significant part of traditional Chinese culture, not only reflect the ecological behaviors of animals and the biomechanical adaptations of plants to environmental changes but are also closely linked to the biomechanical variations in human physiological states. By incorporating biomechanical principles and bionic technology into motion graphic design, the study seeks to create interactive experiences that are more aligned with biological adaptability, catering to users’ physiological needs and cultural identity. The study begins by analyzing the cultural significance of the 24 solar terms and their impact on human life, revealing their critical connection to the biomechanics of human physiological states, such as dietary habits, sleep patterns, and emotional conditions. Based on these findings, a novel motion graphic design method is proposed, leveraging deep learning techniques grounded in bionic principles (e.g., the VGG-19 model) to monitor and analyze users’ biorhythms in real-time. This enables dynamic adjustments to graphic content and interaction modes, enhancing user immersion and engagement. Furthermore, the study explores how information modeling and reverse engineering techniques can digitize traditional cultural elements and biomechanical characteristics associated with different solar terms, creating interactive graphics that combine cultural depth with biological adaptability. This design not only improves user experience but also provides new perspectives and methods for the preservation of cultural heritage. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through analysis in terms of user satisfaction, interactivity, and information transmission efficiency.
