每一段记忆都是箱庭中的宇宙。

Hakoniwa源于一个日语单词，原意为“置于盒子中的微缩景观”。而我认为这同样可以适用于描述记忆在人们之间所承担的作用。

我开始这个项目的初衷是，用一种可视化的方式将人们的人生维度记录下来。这里的人生维度指的是记忆，人们与人们之间的记忆。因为我认为记忆塑造了我们的本我（ego)，同时塑造了我们在群体中的共同印象，并且过去的记忆使我们做出影响未来的选择。所以我认为记忆对人们的人生来说无疑是最重要的部分之一。

确定了概念方向后，我使用坐标轴作为可视化的基础。x轴为日期，y轴为月份，z轴则是年份。试着想象一下吧，在一个无限的空间中，每个与我们相识的人们都被定位在了我们与他们初次相识的日期上，并且沿着z轴（年份）无限延伸下去。而且在这一过程中，互相认识的人之间会被互相连线，然后形成一个个面。

那么基本的用户流程便大致可以构建出来了：
1. 注册/登录
2.引导使用流程
3.绑定社交账号，导入所有联系人/手动录入联系人
4.坐标轴可视化

除了上述过程，我也想到了一些可以丰富用户体验的小细节：
1.为特定联系人设为星标联系人，该联系人会以不同的颜色标注出来
2.沿着z轴延伸的线会随着联系频率产生颜色和透明度的变化
3.用户点击联系人的点后，会进入该联系人的卡片界面，在此界面用户与此联系人最频繁使用的词语/句子会以信息流的形式滑动
4.用户可以放大/缩小人生维度模型，而缩小到极限后再次操作会看到自己与他人的模型互相牵线在一起，但是无法访问他人的模型。

希望Hakoniwa能让人们意识到人与人间联系的脆弱与可贵，也能安抚那些沉溺于过去记忆的人们的灵魂，告诉他们我们并不孤单，由记忆形成的线围绕着世界，将我们所有人连接在一起。

Each memory is a universe in a box.

Hakoniwa is a Japanese word that means “miniature landscape in a box”. And I think this can also be applied to describe the role that memory plays among people.

I started this project with the idea of documenting the dimensions of people’s lives in a visual way. The life dimension here refers to memory, the memory of people with people. Because I believe that memory shapes our ego, as well as our common impressions in a group, and that memories of the past lead us to make choices that affect the future. So I think memory is certainly one of the most important parts of people’s lives.

After determining the conceptual direction, I use the axes as the basis for visualization. x-axis is the date, y-axis is the month, and z-axis is the year. Try to imagine an infinite space where each person we meet is positioned on the date we first met them and extends infinitely along the z-axis (year). And in the process, people who know each other are connected to each other, and then form a single surface.

The basic user flow can then be roughly constructed as follows.
1. registration/login
2. Guide the use process
3. Bind social accounts, import all contacts / manually enter contacts
4. Axis visualization

In addition to the above process, I have also thought of some small details that can enrich the user experience.
1. set a specific contact as a star contact, the contact will be marked with a different color
2. The line along the z-axis will change color and transparency with the contact frequency
3. When users click on a contact’s point, they will enter the contact’s card screen, where the most frequently used words/sentences with the contact will be slid in the form of a stream of information
4. The user can zoom in/out on the life dimension model, and after zooming in to the limit and operating again, he/she will see his/her own and others’ models tied to each other, but cannot access others’ models.

I hope Hakoniwa will make people aware of the fragility and preciousness of human connection, and also soothe the souls of those who are drowning in the memories of the past, telling them that we are not alone and that the threads formed by memories surround the world and connect us all together.
