Decolonizing Creativity In The Digital Era, Laura Herman, Payal Arora Oct 2023

Decolonizing Creativity In The Digital Era, Laura Herman, Payal Arora

IASDR Conference Series

This paper explores the importance of decolonizing creativity in the digital era within the context of the platformised creator economy. We argue that technology has largely been designed for Western audiences by Western audiences, thereby overlooking an enormous segment of global Internet users who exist outside of the Global North. To take a truly inclusive approach to design research, it is imperative to consider local impacts and vernacular realities of designed platforms. Therefore, we share the results of fieldwork conducted with young people in India to produce a non-Western, decolonial perspective on digital creativity and algorithmic cultures. In sharing these …

Multi-View Visualization Layout Design Method For Large Displays Based On Quantitative Analysis Of Situation Awareness, Peng Ji, Xuan He Oct 2023

Multi-View Visualization Layout Design Method For Large Displays Based On Quantitative Analysis Of Situation Awareness, Peng Ji, Xuan He

IASDR Conference Series

Multi-View Visualization (MV) is a technique employed in large-display interaction platforms like network security situational awareness and industrial platforms. However, due to the high technical cost, complexity of physiological measurements, and inadequacy of subjective scales, large-display interaction designs often lack assessment for situational awareness and rely on back-end coding schemes. This lack of convenient and effective measurement impacts interaction design quality, leading to misunderstandings of system intention by human operators. This paper proposes a Quantitative Analysis of Situation Awareness (QASA) for MV layout in large-display interaction design. Through multiple experimental measurements (N=50) validated by eye-movement testing, we compared situational awareness …

Introducing The Third Space Of Design For Well-Being: Exploring The Intersection Between Problem- And Possibility-Driven Design Through A Design Case On Online Dating Experience, Erika Hajdu, Hazal Ertürkan, Pieter Desmet

IASDR Conference Series

This paper explores the traditional distinction between problem- and possibility-driven design for promoting user well-being. Problem-driven design identifies and addresses unfulfilled needs to reduce ill-being (i.e., the first space of design for well-being), while possibility-driven design seeks to enhance well-being without addressing existing problems (i.e., the second space of design for well-being). The latter is informed by positive psychology, which studies the conditions for human flourishing. Although possibility-driven design has added a valuable new focus to the design repertoire, it confronts designers with some key challenges that are currently unresolved. Examples of these challenges include finding focus, determining evaluation metrics, …

Design Fiction And The Art Of Anticipation, Eva Knutz, Thomas Markussen Oct 2023

Design Fiction And The Art Of Anticipation, Eva Knutz, Thomas Markussen

IASDR Conference Series

In this paper we show how design fiction is a form of design inquiry that offers methods for understanding and reacting towards intractable societal challenges. More specifically we unravel how narrative and literary practices of world-making used in design fiction can be of value for researching life changing, but unknown futures. We argue that this contribution has been largely overlooked because design fiction is too often wrongly caught up in discussions of the limitations of speculative design. Additionally, we substantiate our claim by making a study of Design Futures courses addressing the challenge of unknown energy futures in an era …

Exploring The Effect Of Softness And Weight Of Materials On Positive Emotion Regulation: A Case Study Of Lego, Jinhee Cha, Chajoong Kim, Sungzin Chae

IASDR Conference Series

Emotional well-being manages people’s emotions and copes with challenges throughout life. Positive emotion and emotion regulation have beneficial effects on overall emotional well-being (Colombo et al., 2021; Quoidbach et al., 2010; Yoon & Kim, 2022). In the sensory perception of humans, touch interaction is regarded as a vital contributor to regulating our emotions. Considering that appropriate touch experience can lead to more positive emotion regulation, the study attempts to figure out how the touch experience relates to positive emotion regulation. Among several factors of tactile perception, our focus was on texture and weight, which are presumably closely related to positive …

Shifting Spaces In Fashion: Approaching Digitised Design Spaces From A Bodily Perspective, Jan Tepe Oct 2023

Shifting Spaces In Fashion: Approaching Digitised Design Spaces From A Bodily Perspective, Jan Tepe

IASDR Conference Series

Digitising design processes incrementally reduce the degree to which designers bodily engage with materials to design garments. While extended reality technology such as augmented and virtual reality could address the lack of bodily involvement in digital design processes, they have yet to resonate with fashion designers in academia and the industry to be fully included. The presented research aimed to explore extended reality technology as an enabler of ‘interspaces’ that mediates bodily experiences and interactions of engaging with digital material based on spatial and technological affordances. The emergent design spaces allowed for varying degrees of bodily engaging digital materials. Reflections …

Usage Of Service Design Pattern Language As A Method For Beginners To Effectively Acquire Their Behaviors Towards Design, Kaoru Yamamoto, Momoko Nakatani

IASDR Conference Series

In the complex society of VUCA, individuals without design expertise will be required to address problems that lack a clear solution, so called “Wicked Problems”. This study examines the potential of “Service Design Pattern Language” as a method to assist non-design experts in tackling such challenges by themselves, by acquiring behavior of design. Service Design Pattern Language captures the implicit knowledge of service designers who work on problems without clear solutions and transforms it into patterns. In current design education, mentoring and facilitation by experts are often necessary to develop the behaviors for design. However, if Service Design Pattern Language …

Design Considerations For Supporting Social Interaction In Algorithmic Social Media Feed, Daehyun Kwak, Heejae Bae, Youn-Kyung Lim

IASDR Conference Series

Nowadays, social media platforms employ recommender systems to proactively suggest the posts that a user is likely to prefer, even if it comes from strangers (e.g., the “Suggested Posts” feature on Instagram). Previous studies revealed that these algorithmic recommendations influence users’ social interaction practices in social media. However, there is little attempt to investigate how social media feeds should be designed to ensure the social interactions users truly want. Given this background, we conducted four design workshops aiming to explore design considerations for social media feeds that can support users’ social interactions under the impact of algorithmic recommendations.
