如果情感是有形的，那麼人們即可輕易地窺視彼此的情感，但，情感卻是無形的。本研究將以人為本，朝著將情感傳達形象化的方向發展。起先，以互動編舞學（Choreography of Interaction）之設計方法研究人與人、人與環境之間，在接觸過程中的情感傳遞方式，再進而將行為語義賦予產品設計，目的在於讓人們可看見情感正在傳輸、正在接收、正在融合的過程，此意象即為「染色體」的設計。
本研究應用可觸知介面（TUIs，Tangible User Interfaces）以及遍佈運算（UC，Ubiquitous Computing）的概念，以隨身的手環飾品作為將情感形象化之介面，並將緩慢科技（Slow Technology）之設計元素納入其中，以回憶的方式讓人們對於社交與地方有所反思。

If emotions had forms, people could easily see through others’ feelings. However, emotions are formless in actuality. This research bases on the essence of people and develops in a way of visualizing the emotion communication. First of all, with the utilization of Choreography of Interaction, the research explores the approaches used to convey emotions between people to people and people to the surroundings when meeting each other. Then the researcher transforms behavioral meanings into a product with an aim to enable people to witness the process of conveying, receiving, and interacting of emotions, which integrally comes to the realization of the design “Chromosome”.
This research employs the concept of Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) and Ubiquitous Computing (UC) and utilizes a bracelet to act as a platform to visualize the emotion communication, and the element of Slow Technology is included so as to enable people to reflect on social reactions and places in a nostalgic way.
