Cover Story: Navigating design communities through the new era is a significant issue facing global competition and pluralistic society. This study discusses the adaptive challenges in design education and bridged the design theory and practice. The authors explore three case studies of the REACH toothbrushes, an IEF wearable computer, and a LINNAK twin-cup. The results demonstrate the advancement and transformation from hi-tech to hi-touch. The contributions of this study are to clarify the interrelations among human factors, human actors, and cultural aspects. This study illustrates the evolution of the archetypal model of user–tool–task employing illustrative paradigms and also proposes orientated perspectives for the design industry and design education.
