Missing The Bus: A Toolkit For Amplifying Unheard Voices Of Women Commuters In India, Dhriti Dhaundiyal, Nishant Sharma Jun 2024

Missing The Bus: A Toolkit For Amplifying Unheard Voices Of Women Commuters In India, Dhriti Dhaundiyal, Nishant Sharma

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Inequity in access is created when infrastructure and services are created for the de-fault 'generic user'. Mobility has long been a key factor in empowerment of women, defining how women navigate their personal and professional lives. The number of women using public buses in India has remained low. Policy formulation for large populations is driven by statistical analysis and data models that do not account for marginalized groups. The present toolkit used to develop the comprehensive mobility plan for Indian cities lacks the tools to elicit tacit needs and requirements of such citizens. To address this gap, we designed a …


Revealing User Tacit Knowledge: Generative-Image-Ai Helps Create Better Design Conversation, Wenhui He, Yi Xiao, Yu Xie Jun 2024

Revealing User Tacit Knowledge: Generative-Image-Ai Helps Create Better Design Conversation, Wenhui He, Yi Xiao, Yu Xie

DRS Biennial Conference Series

In new product development, engaging users in co-creation provides valuable opportunities for innovation by uncovering their latent needs. However, user knowledge is often tacit and difficult to express. This study considers Generative-Image-AI as a tool to facilitate communication between users and designers, and explores how it intervenes in the design process to facilitate meaningful design conversations. We proposed the conceptual design iteration process model for Generative-Image-AI intervention in the product conceptual design phase and conducted a workshop with six designer-user dyads. The results demonstrated the positive impact of Generative-Image-AI on design conversations by fostering continuous communication, expanding possibilities, and encouraging …


Toward Mutual Understanding: Constructing The Designer-Developer Collaboration In Designing Gesture Interaction, Yijing Yang, Wei Wang, Jun Zhang, Qi Chen, Le Du Jun 2024

Toward Mutual Understanding: Constructing The Designer-Developer Collaboration In Designing Gesture Interaction, Yijing Yang, Wei Wang, Jun Zhang, Qi Chen, Le Du

DRS Biennial Conference Series

In design-driven research and development projects, one of the biggest challenges is to make the different roles speak the same language. In this paper, along with a real project concerning the UX enhancement of smartphone touch-based gestures, we found designers and developers possessed their familiar skills and tools, but lacked understanding of each other's work, especially when designers encountered developers' work. Therefore, we propose the 5Fs model, elucidating how touch-based gesture interaction is constructed through different roles' involvement. The 5Fs layer was identified, relating work content to UX, including Hardware Feature, Coding Frame, Function Matching, Visual Feedforward, and Modal Feedback. …

Leveraging Llms For Reflection ��: Approaches To Mitigate Assumptions Within The Design Process, Niklas Muhs, Aeneas Stankowski Jun 2024

Leveraging Llms For Reflection ��: Approaches To Mitigate Assumptions Within The Design Process, Niklas Muhs, Aeneas Stankowski

DRS Biennial Conference Series

In an increasingly complex landscape, designers grapple with unprecedented uncertainty, often exacerbated by inherent biases and implicit assumptions. Utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs), our formative study introduces "Anticipate," a tool designed to interrogate these hidden presumptions and mitigate uncertainty. A subsequent study demonstrates that LLMs can critically challenge design ideas, elucidate underlying thought patterns, and expose biases, thereby preempting undesirable outcomes. Importantly, we employ specific input framing techniques to minimize the risk of LLM-induced biases and hallucinations in decision-making. Collectively, these methodologies aim to attenuate both designer and algorithmic biases, thereby mitigating the perpetuation of adverse societal trends.

A Case Study Into The Role Of Bodily Expertise In Somatic Design Ideation, Yeup Hur, Liz Van Der Jagt, Geert Boer, Tyana Hendriksma, Els Van Raaij, Panos Markopoulos

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Research in tangible and embodied interaction design highlights the critical role of the human body and its movement. Various studies have explored the importance of bodily awareness (Hummels, 2007) and have further encouraged de-signers to cultivate subjective bodily skills (Schiphorst, 2011) to support and enhance design practices. These bodily considerations have led to methodological approaches, such as body storming (Schleicher, 2010), to a more holistic approach like Soma Design (Höök, 2018), emphasising the importance of bodily understanding. This paper examines the characteristics of experienced bodily movers and their potential contributions to the design ideation process. We also explore how these …

In this research human relationships with objects were traced through 25 participant documentations in 7 different cities. 25 different participant documentation portray the variety of the experiences emerging around objects in public space. The textual part of participants’ documentation was analyzed with thematic analysis. With thematic analysis, new themes were identified. This new themes illustrate a landscape of the agency of objects in public space. I asked participants to report a personal account of an everyday object in public space with text and photography. The collected material consisting of texts and photographs were analysed with thematic analysis inspired by grounded …


Strategic Design: The Integration Of The Two Fields Of Strategy And Design, Jan Michel Auernhammer Jun 2024

Strategic Design: The Integration Of The Two Fields Of Strategy And Design, Jan Michel Auernhammer

DRS Biennial Conference Series

This article outlines the evolution of Design in Strategy and Strategy in Design and discusses the differences and similarities. The examination of the evolutions revealed three different perspectives on integrating Strategy and Design in both fields. The article provides a nuanced understanding of Strategic Design by purposefully establishing the vocabulary of each perspective. The first perspective is a planning practice containing strategic tools and design methods to create conceptual plans. The second perspective is a learning practice through collective reflection from intent and action. The last perspective is the enablement of a comprehensive design practice in which tangible design and …


Analyzing User Experience With A Smart Product-Service System: Children-Owned Wearables, Isil Oygur Ilhan, Yunan Chen, Daniel A. Epstein Jun 2024

Analyzing User Experience With A Smart Product-Service System: Children-Owned Wearables, Isil Oygur Ilhan, Yunan Chen, Daniel A. Epstein

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Contemporary smart product-service systems increasingly enable multiple users to interact with multiple touchpoints of the same system simultaneously. We looked deeper into the use practice of one such smart product-service system, children-owned wearables. Our data comes from a short-term auto-ethnography and a user review analysis of 9 children-owned wearables. Experiences designed for children assume they have limited agency, leading parents to switch roles between being the end and mediating users. As mediating users, parents become service providers for their children. These user dynamics can hinder children’s experience with wearables and their interaction with other wearable users. Our findings extend the …


Rendering Soil Care Across Hotel, Retailer, And Farm With A Mutuality Service Blueprint, Markus Wernli, Kam Fai Chan Jun 2024

Rendering Soil Care Across Hotel, Retailer, And Farm With A Mutuality Service Blueprint, Markus Wernli, Kam Fai Chan

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Food retailers and hoteliers aiming at eco-social transitions struggle to show tangible impact on the ground. Since sustainable food systems necessitate internal reconfigurations of service structure, exploring value creation concerning the local environment and community is essential. Design management tools are challenged to deliver mutualist conditions that respond to the needs of soils and humans. We explore what an eco-social Mutuality Service Blueprint entails based on an empirical pilot case. Here, 13 hoteliers and 17 retail customers in Hong Kong became soil care service providers over 43 weeks by diverting 4800 liters of food waste for composting and growing 1500 …


With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility: The Discourse Of Conduct And Ethics In Professional Design, Veronika Kelly, Meghan Kelly Jun 2024

With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility: The Discourse Of Conduct And Ethics In Professional Design, Veronika Kelly, Meghan Kelly

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Knowledge of professional design is (re)produced through discourse and its culture of use: from the language used, interactions with others and objects created, to the techniques and procedures that connect and distribute professional design knowledge. Here, discourse both shapes and is shaped by social practices and communicated through structures such as codes of conduct and codes of ethics. This paper explores the discourse of codes of conduct and codes of ethics for professional design developed by peak design organisations. We argue that such codes serve as forms of industry self-regulation encapsulating designers’ responsibilities and the ethics of their practices. However, …


Sharing Instead Of Being Infringed: How To Build A Responsible Community For Online Artwork Sharing?, Shenglan Cui, Fang Liu, Biyao Li, Xiang Yuan Jun 2024

Sharing Instead Of Being Infringed: How To Build A Responsible Community For Online Artwork Sharing?, Shenglan Cui, Fang Liu, Biyao Li, Xiang Yuan

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The development of internet and artificial intelligence technology promotes the dissemination of artworks but also increases the possibility of infringement. Designers who selflessly share their work risk having it stolen, plagiarized, sold, used directly as NFT, or used for AI training. In this paper, we conducted an exploratory study to investigate desingers' needs and solutions when faced with online artwork-sharing infringement. We held two workshops to discuss design plagiarism and illegal AI-art data training. Ultimately, the team arrived at seven solutions for addressing potential infringement issues that arise when sharing artwork online. Synthesizing the participants' evaluations and related research, we …


Fostering A Patient-Led Culture Of Care Through Data Physicalization: A Design Approach To Create Awareness And Promote Data Collection On Antimicrobial Resistance, Ginevra Terenghi, Serena Cangiano, Antonella Autuori, Cristina Margarida Corti Jun 2024

Fostering A Patient-Led Culture Of Care Through Data Physicalization: A Design Approach To Create Awareness And Promote Data Collection On Antimicrobial Resistance, Ginevra Terenghi, Serena Cangiano, Antonella Autuori, Cristina Margarida Corti

DRS Biennial Conference Series

The paradigm shift in healthcare delivery models is leading to individuals assuming greater responsibilities and control, as the agency is moving from doctor-centric to patient-centric. To foster a patient-led culture of care, health and data literacy are essential, especially in the context of global challenges, where citizen awareness is fundamental to play actively in co-creating knowledge. This paper outlines a methodological approach and the outcomes of a design research project focused on promoting engagement and literacy to facilitate citizen and patient participation in addressing the antimicrobial resistance threat. The approach is tested in the format of an experimental workshop, inspired …


Designing With More-Than-Human Temporalities, Riel Bessai, Roy Bendor, Ruud Balkenende Jun 2024

Designing With More-Than-Human Temporalities, Riel Bessai, Roy Bendor, Ruud Balkenende

DRS Biennial Conference Series

Time is a crucial element in design, and even more so when it comes to designing for sustainability. Many designers approach sustainability from a problem-solving perspective, according to which time is linear (and therefore quantifiable) and the future is predictable (and therefore designable). Designerly time appears quintessentially modern and human. A welcome antidote can be found in more-than-human design perspectives, where a multitude of actants and agencies and their appropriate temporalities are given consideration and space. In this paper we add to such approaches by suggesting two ways to engage with more-than-human temporalities: noticing and care. We illustrate how these …
