Abstract:

The research conducted in this study has significantly advanced our understanding of the integration of bionics, visual communication design, and virtual reality technology. By employing an improved topological hierarchical analysis method, we successfully constructed a multivariate coupling model that serves as a powerful tool in the design and implementation of biomimetic elements within visual communication strategies. The application of this model was exemplified through the development of a gecko-inspired medical sensor, demonstrating the practical capabilities of our approach. The detailed cognitive coupling design process utilized in this study highlights the potential of morphological and structural characteristics derived from biological models to enhance product design in the medical technology sector. The coupling contributions quantified in our results—0.5288 for morphology, 0.4133 for structure, and 0.3396 for materials—clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of integrating specific biological features into bionic designs. These values not only confirm the feasibility of our design principles but also underscore the profound impact that careful, scientifically-informed design choices can have on the functionality and user interaction of biotechnological devices. Moreover, the use of virtual reality technology in this context has proven to be invaluable. VR provides a unique platform that allows designers to visualize, iterate, and refine bionic designs in a highly interactive and immersive environment. This capability significantly enhances the design process, providing immediate feedback and allowing for rapid adjustments that align with the cognitive features and functional needs of the end product. This study lays the groundwork for future research and development in the field of morpho-bionic design, particularly within visual communication. It is evident that the methods and strategies developed here can be applied more broadly to improve design efficiency and efficacy across various domains of biotechnology and medical engineering. We encourage further exploration and application of these principles to explore new avenues in bionic design, potentially leading to breakthroughs in how biological inspirations are translated into practical, commercial products. In conclusion, the integration of bionics with visual communication design, facilitated by virtual reality, offers a promising pathway toward innovative biotechnological solutions that are both effective and engaging. As this field evolves, it will continue to enhance how designers and engineers approach the development of medical sensors and other biotechnological tools, ensuring that these innovations are as impactful as they are inspired by the natural world.
