Uncovering The Role Of Silence In The Thinking Shift During Design Collaboration: From The Perspective Of Six Thinking Hats, Chu Liang, Ying Hu, Ziling Liang, Jing Qian, Yunxiang Shi, Yiming Bai

IASDR Conference Series

Silence in team collaboration is often viewed as a challenge, as it can indicate either a lack of engagement or moments of deep thinking. This inherent ambiguity can leave team members uncertain about how to interpret and respond. Although previous studies have associated silence with some passive behaviors in design collaboration, the nuanced role of silence during thinking shifts remains insufficiently explored. Building on the six thinking hats, this study confirmed the relationship between silence and thinking shifts and identified specific types of silence corresponding to four distinct shifts of thinking hats. Qualitative analysis further revealed the roles of different …

Interaction Augmentation: Deepening User Experience To Build Placeness, Seongsu Choi, Seok Young Hwang, Jungmin Kim, Kicheol Pak

IASDR Conference Series

Various forms of interaction derived from nonverbal behaviors of products contribute to delivering positive experiences in human-product interactions. For a product to be integrated into human experiences more closely, it must incorporate aspects of the spatial environment in which it is placed. Although numerous previous studies have suggested that expanded experiences extending from the product to the surrounding space play a crucial role in the formation of placeness, place attachment, and behavioral intentions, the structured pathways and the clarities of how product interaction contributes to placemaking remain under explored. This study aims to structure and elucidate whether and how a …

Open-Ended Empathy: A Design Philosophy Grounded In Relation And Responsiveness, Megumi Sumi Dec 2025

Open-Ended Empathy: A Design Philosophy Grounded In Relation And Responsiveness, Megumi Sumi

IASDR Conference Series

This study proposes an ontological redefinition of empathy in design practice. Empathy has been conventionally framed as a cognitive means for understanding users, often through techniques such as observation and interviews. In contrast, this study reconceptualizes empathy as a mode of being that emerges within relationships—including those involving more-than-human entities such as nature and things. This reconceptualization is termed “open-ended empathy,” which is grounded in bodily and ethical responsiveness that unfolds in being-with others, opening together into mutual transformation. Grounded in phenomenology and Japanese philosophy, the study analyzes a co-design practice conducted with university students in the context of a …

The Algorithmic Gift Of Error: Ai Hallucination As A Catalyst For Speculative Futures And Design Methodology, Liang Xiao, Yuqi Liu, Ye Zhang, Mi Chen Dec 2025

The Algorithmic Gift Of Error: Ai Hallucination As A Catalyst For Speculative Futures And Design Methodology, Liang Xiao, Yuqi Liu, Ye Zhang, Mi Chen

IASDR Conference Series

In recent years, generative artificial intelligence has been widely adopted in design and creative practices. However, its tendency to produce “hallucinations”—outputs characterized by illogical ity, bias, or factual inaccuracy—is often regarded as a system flaw. From the perspective of speculative design, which aims not to solve problems but to destabilize assumptions, such generative disruptions can serve as potent catalysts for reimagining futures. This paper re-evaluates the creative potential of AI hallucination through the methodological lens of speculative fiction and design. It outlines three distinct hallucination mechanisms: strategic hallucination, stochastic hallucination, and systemized serendipity. These are illustrated through three case studies—In …

Beyond Obedient Tools: A Tensional-Field Relational Ontology For Human-Ai Co-Creation, Ziming Wang, Junyi Zeng, Krity Gera, Ashley Hall Dec 2025

Beyond Obedient Tools: A Tensional-Field Relational Ontology For Human-Ai Co-Creation, Ziming Wang, Junyi Zeng, Krity Gera, Ashley Hall

IASDR Conference Series

Design practice frequently characterises generative artificial intelligence (AI) as a compliant, tool-like extension of human intention; however, recent reports of atypical behaviours motivate a re- examination of this metaphor. Grounded in Object-Oriented Ontology, agential realism, and posthumanist theory, this paper introduces the Tensional-Field Relational Framework (TFRF) for human–AI co-creation. TFRF models collaboration as a flat network comprising five semi-opaque node classes: human designer, AI system, creative artefact, intentional vector, and socio technical environment, all linked by dynamically weighted edges and circulating flows. We operational ise this perspective as a diagnostic governance grammar: relations are instrumented as edges with quantified flows …

From Tools To Actors: Understanding Non-Human Agencies In Intergenerational Interaction Design For Older Adults, Chen Li, Song Xu Dec 2025

From Tools To Actors: Understanding Non-Human Agencies In Intergenerational Interaction Design For Older Adults, Chen Li, Song Xu

IASDR Conference Series

This study adopts Actor-Network Theory (ANT) to examine how non-human actors exercise agency in intergenerational interaction design. Moving beyond the notion of gerontechnology technology as passive tools, we frame these technologies as active participants in shaping intergenerational connections. Through case-based analysis and material ethnography, we analyzed four design projects—Harmony Makers, CampChess, XiangqiMate, and SereniTea House. By systematically coding design documents, interviews, and user interaction videos, we identified five dimensions of non-human agency: Interaction Triggering, Relationship Coordination, Emotional Modulation, Cultural Invocation, and Identity Positioning. These dimensions highlight the distributed and relational nature of agency within intergenerational settings, where non-human actors not …

Making Meaning Manifest: Communication And Relevance In Design Thinking, Luke Feast Dec 2025

Making Meaning Manifest: Communication And Relevance In Design Thinking, Luke Feast

IASDR Conference Series

This paper examines communication in design thinking, drawing on Sperber and Wilson's Relevance Theory as an alternative to the prevailing information-processing model. While design thinking is commonly framed as problem-solving, we propose that designed artefacts function as ostensive stimuli that guide users' inferential processes rather than encoding fixed meanings. The ostensive-inferential model reveals how designers communicate through intentions, where users actively infer meaning based on evidence, context, and relevance. This framework explains complex communicative phenomena, including affordances, metaphors, cross-cultural design considerations, and ethical dimensions of design practice. This perspective has significant implications for design thinking education and practice, emphasising communication …

Modeling The Dynamic Agency In Human-Ai Collaboration, Shyhnan Liou, Chi-Yue Chiu, Ingri P. Hernandez Sibo, Yu-Chen Chen, I Jen Wang, Shin-Bou Lin, Shu-Ting Ai, Chi-Yi Chang

IASDR Conference Series

This paper presents a novel theoretical model conceptualizing the Sense of Agency (SoA) as foundational to ethical and effective human-AI collaboration. Moving beyond instrumentalist views of AI, we frame human-AI interaction as a dynamic, dyadic process wherein both humans and AI systems continuously assess, interpret, and adapt to perceptions of their own agency and that of their partner in real time. Grounded in philosophy of mind (intentional agency), psychological principles (Self- Determination Theory (SDT), equi finality), and systems engineering, our model introduces a quadripartite agency framework: the human’s first-person SoA, the human’s perception of AI agency, the AI’s computational self-agency, …
