Skyfie+:空中自拍 App 設計與研究

Abstract

多軸空拍機問世，空拍機的快速發展讓應用越來越多元，能夠預期 未來空拍的應用會越來越普及，空拍機自拍的應用上，比起過往的自拍 棒或是自身手臂，空拍機打破角度、距離的限制拍出更多豐富的照片， 然而現今在自拍的情境下，空拍機常見的操作是複雜並附有門檻的，對 於空拍機要有一定的熟練程度，才能輕易拍出使用者所要的照片。\n本研究針對過去對於空拍機操作方法之觀察，歸納傳統操作方式的 問題，依照過去操作行為之研究討論優勢與限制。提出畫面調整模式 (viewpoint adjustment)，讓使用者能在使用空拍機畫面微調階段更快 速直覺完成構圖。結合 Skyfie 系統的直接指向(direct pointing)提出新 系統 Skyfie+，於戶外場域中進行使用者測試，評估系統互動操作之優 劣，測試結果顯示自拍任務中比起傳統操作方法更易於使用。最終更進 一步將 Skyfie+帶至觀光景點邀請遊客自由自拍並觀察其使用，發現對 於沒有使用空拍機經驗的遊客，也能快速達成自拍目的並符合使用者對 於空間中的認知，本研究也提出了一些未來能夠改進的方向。

As the launch of multirotor drone leads to the rapid development of diverse usages of drone, the popularization of personal flying bots in future is definitely expected. Comparing to selfie sticks and human arms, drones break the limit of angles and distance which allows us to take various pictures in various ways. Therefore, taking selfies with a drone is still complicated and skill-required due to the general operations of the device itself. The user will need to reach a skilled level to take the pictures they want.\nThis study is aimed to observe the operation method of drones in the past, summarize the problem of the traditional operation methods, and discuss the advantages and limitations according to the past research of the operational behavior.\nThe “Viewpoint adjustment” function allows users to compose more quickly and intuitively when framing the picture with a drone. Combined with the direct pointing system of Skyfie, the evaluation of the interactional system from outdoor user testing proves that the new system “Skyfie+” is more handier than the traditional approach.\nIn the last step, we bring Skyfie+ to tourist attractions and invite visitors to take a selfie and observe their usage of the device. We found out that even those without experience using drones can take selfie quickly and correspond to the perception of space.\nThis study also points out some directions of future improvements.
