現代人對電子產品的依賴性高而忽略了週邊人際之間的情感以及自身的健康，尤其「手機保母」現象讓小朋友對手機逐漸產生依賴。「新門神」延續門神文化，改善現代人對手機的過度使用而設計出「數位門神」，打破大眾對於門神的刻板形象並延續門神的傳統含義，成為能夠與使用者有更多互動的數位守護者，將門神與二十四節氣做連結，透過二十四位門神的習性讓使用者在使用時獲得不同的體驗。
本專案將傳統門神與電子產品做結合，運用當代人的習性透過動態影像與應用程式介面設計將門神從靜態圖像轉化為生動的互動體驗，設計一款結合文化與數位時間管理的新門神，新門神會在每小時出現於(手機等電子設備)螢幕上提醒使用者休息，期間若有感應到手機按鍵的反應變會重新開始計時休息時間，以24種有趣的形式展現數位守門人風趣的一面，讓孩童在休息時也能自然接觸到傳統文化知識，在潛移默化中建立對二十四節氣的認識。
門神作為民間文化與藝術的一部分，因時代變遷逐漸淡出人們的日常生活中，為改善現代人的不良習慣、人與人之間的互動以及現代孩童頻繁使用電子產品,，透過此設計讓門神更能貼近我們的日常生活中，重新的融入人們的習慣，再次喚醒門神的意義。

New god door

Modern society’s heavy reliance on electronic devices has led to a decline in interpersonal relationships and personal well-being. In particular, the phenomenon of "smartphone babysitting" has contributed to children's growing dependence on mobile devices. New Door Gods extends the cultural significance of traditional door gods by addressing the issue of excessive smartphone use. Designed as digital door gods, this project challenges conventional perceptions of door gods while preserving their traditional protective role. These digital guardians foster interaction with users and connect the concept of door gods with the 24 solar terms, offering a unique experience based on the characteristics of each of the 24 digital door gods.

This project integrates traditional door gods with electronic devices, adapting to modern habits through animated visuals and an interactive application interface. It transforms static imagery into an engaging, dynamic experience, creating a new type of door god that merges cultural heritage with digital time management. Every hour, the New Door God appears on the screen of a smartphone (or other electronic device) to remind users to take a break. If any interaction with the device is detected, the break timer resets, ensuring that users are mindful of their screen time. Each of the 24 digital guardians showcases a unique and entertaining persona, making the digital protector not only functional but also engaging. This design allows children to naturally encounter traditional cultural knowledge during their breaks, fostering an awareness of the 24 solar terms in a subtle yet impactful way.

As a vital part of folk culture and art, door gods have gradually faded from daily life due to changing times. To address modern habits, enhance social interactions, and reduce children's excessive screen time, this project brings door gods closer to contemporary lifestyles. By seamlessly integrating them into daily routines, New Door Gods revives the cultural significance of door gods, reintroducing their protective presence in a way that resonates with today's society.
