在數位導航普及的時代，旅行往往簡化為手機螢幕上的藍點移動。旅客過度依賴 App 評價與路徑建議，不僅產生了「決策疲勞」，更在低頭尋路的過程中錯失了城市真實的風景與感官連結。
​核心概念
「TRACE 萃循」是一台定位於城市門戶（如車站、機場）或文創街區的實體路徑導覽機。作品名稱取自英文 Trace（足跡、痕跡）與中文「萃取、遵循」的諧音。它透過 AI 算法，從海量的都市資訊中萃取出避開人潮的小眾深度路徑，引導旅人遵循直覺去探索城市的隱藏脈絡。
​使用流程與體驗
使用者只需在機台選定主題，系統便會生成一段專屬路徑。出發前，旅客可透過機台拍照功能記錄下此刻的狀態。最終，機器會印製一張集「地圖導引」與「實體照片」於一體的紙質票卡。這張票卡賦予了資訊重量，鼓勵旅客收起手機，僅憑藉手中的溫度，開啟一段充滿驚喜的沉浸式旅程。

In the era of digital navigation, traveling is often reduced to following a blue dot on a screen. Over-reliance on apps leads to "decision fatigue" and causes travelers to miss the authentic sensory connections within the urban landscape.

"TRACE" is an analog path-finding terminal designed for urban gateways. The name combines "tracing" footprints with "extracting" the city's essence. It uses AI to filter overwhelming data, generating unique, off-the-beaten-path routes that encourage travelers to explore beyond mainstream tourist traps.
​
The process is ritualistic: users select a theme, capture a photo, and receive a physical "Travel Ticket" that integrates a minimalist map with their printed image. This tangible artifact gives weight to digital information, empowering travelers to put away their phones and re-engage with the city through a screen-free, immersive journey.
