Abstract: In the implementation process of intelligent driving, visualization can serve as an excellent means to help improve the interpretability of intelligent driving decisions, support service information communication in autonomous taxi services, and enhance the comprehensibility of remote operation traffic information. This report will share a teaching case in this direction, hoping to engage in more discussions and cooperation with interested experts.

Abstract: The invention of perspective enabled humanity to understand the relationship between humans and the world through biological eyes for the first time, with clear proportions and coordinates. Through perspective, this paper aims to explore the structural significance behind the construction of the entire "world picture." By sorting out the macro framework of history, theory, and technology, with the systematic paradigm shift of perspective as the main line, it discusses its shaping of visual modernity, how the world gradually became a world of images, and how it was grasped as images.

Abstract: Visualization tools make the intellectual threads of Chinese design studies clear and tangible. This report will use knowledge graphs to trace the discipline from the craft enlightenment of the late Qing "Guimao School System," to the livelihood services of "arts and crafts" during the planned economy period, to the integration practice of locality and modernity in the wave of globalization, and finally to the contemporary disciplinary layout of "one divided into three." The analysis focuses on two evolutionary threads: the intellectual awakening of knowledge systems from transplantation and borrowing to autonomous construction, and the functional evolution of disciplinary boundaries continuously expanding with national development needs, which are becoming renewable contemporary visual archives through visualization. The report will finally consider: how this disciplinary dynamic of integration, subdivision, and reconstruction presented by visualization becomes a key dimension for understanding the contemporary situation of Chinese design studies.

Abstract: The Online Museum of Chinese Industrial Design 1949-1989 (website) is one of the main achievements of the National Social Science Fund general project in art studies "Construction of Chinese Modern Industrial Design Resource Database Based on Knowledge Graph Technology." It is the first online museum in China and globally with Chinese industrial design as its theme, possessing originality and uniqueness. The "Online Museum of Chinese Industrial Design 1949-1989" is a collaborative result of the School of Design, School of Computer Science, and School of Software at East China Normal University. The first phase displays products in 4 industrial matrices: equipment and heavy industry, transportation, light industry, and electronics industry. The product production and R&D time span covers 1949-1989, an important period of China's modernization construction. It displays images and text introductions of more than 500 products.
