Abstract

COVID-19 has revolutionized our lifestyle. Whether it is “Do Not Touch” or “Maintaining Social Distance”, there is a need for distance. Unless COVID-19 disappears automatically, we will have to change the way we live for a long time. The distance between people and things will be maintained by physical measures to make it safer, but the psychological dimension needs to be intimate. Therefore, closing the space between people and things through emotional design (whether physical or virtual) and the shortening the distance between people and the world around them is worthy of further discussion. This paper first reviews the concepts involved, then randomly selects two typical exhibitions for analysis and discussion, and finally puts forward conclusions and suggestions. Whether the audience’s experience meets expectations will determine the success of the exhibition to some extent. In the process of interaction, “touching” the real exhibits may still be unacceptable, but it can satisfy people’s curiosity and innate habits in other ways. As part of a previous study, we also hope that more readers will genuinely comment on this issue.
