IASDR Conference Series
Lower-limb prosthetics are typically developed within clinical frameworks that prioritise function, mobility, and rehabilitation. Yet for many amputees, the prosthesis is not merely a technical aid; it is a symbolic artefact that intersects with identity, visibility, and emotional recovery. This paper maps the dual prosthetic journey, comprising a clinical path of surgery, fitting, and gait training, alongside a symbolic path of shock, adaptation, and self-expression, to show how movement and meaning evolve in parallel. Drawing from two multi-stakeholder focus groups involving clinicians, prosthetists, amputees, advocates, and designers, the study identifies four leverage points where design can bridge functional and emotional …
The Emergence Of Cultural Signals In Typographic Systems, César Arturo Puertas, Juan Alfonso De La Ros
The Emergence Of Cultural Signals In Typographic Systems, César Arturo Puertas, Juan Alfonso De La Ros
IASDR Conference Series
This paper explores how through visual analysis of contemporary design of typographic systems in Colombia, it is possible to create a custom framework for clustering and analysis to help recognize the possible emergence of cultural signals of colonised communities and cultural groups. Based on that framework we described these signals in four categories: Abstracted indigenous heritage (cultural revival); hybrid graphic vernacular (vernacular typography); Indigenous linguistic forms (direct linguistic revival); and hybrid cultural abstraction (indirect linguistic revival). We argue that local/regional type design and typography are increasingly serving as a medium of cultural resistance (intentional or unintentional), where designers engage with …

Hauntological Speculation Device: Designing Lost Futures With Design Students And Generative Ai To Explore Alternative Socio-Technological Scenarios, Pedro Álvarez, José Tomás Labbé
IASDR Conference Series
This paper explores haunt ological speculation as an innovative approach to Speculative Design in undergraduate design education. While Speculative Design methodologies have gained prominence in design curricula, they often struggle to imagine future scenarios beyond apocalyptic narratives, leading to a form of "imaginative paralysis." To address this challenge, we integrate "hauntology" into Design epi stem ologies. Hauntology expands ontological frameworks by incorporating "the presence of absences"—events that could have occurred but did not materialize—as factors shaping the present, thereby broadening possibilities for imagining and designing futures beyond dominant contemporary logics. We present two case studies of "haunt ological speculation exercises" …
Designing A Distractor As A Reset Mechanism In Virtual Reality: Exploring User Awareness In Redirected Walking, I Nyoman Natanael, Chien-Hsu Chen, Wei-Ting Lu
Designing A Distractor As A Reset Mechanism In Virtual Reality: Exploring User Awareness In Redirected Walking, I Nyoman Natanael, Chien-Hsu Chen, Wei-Ting Lu
IASDR Conference Series
The Redirected Walking (RDW) technique manipulates users' spatial perception, allowing them to walk within a Virtual Environment (VE) larger than the available physical tracking space. The principle of the RDW technique is to manipulate the rotation, translation, and curvature gain ratios on the VE so that users perceive walking straight in the VE even while following a curved path in the physical space. A reset mechanism is needed when the user reaches the edge of the tracking space area to continue walking in the Physical Environment (PE) area without hitting a wall or exiting the tracking space area. A reset …

Reactivating The Unseen And Unheard: Posthuman Playfulness As Cultural Agency In Urban Ecologies, Yuying Jiang
Reactivating The Unseen And Unheard: Posthuman Playfulness As Cultural Agency In Urban Ecologies, Yuying Jiang
IASDR Conference Series
With the development of More-than-Human-Centered Design theory, culture has gradually been recognized as an active non-human agent in urban public spaces, attracting increasing attention in the field of design research. However, in the actual planning and operation of urban spaces, posthuman cultural elements—such as cultural memory, historical narratives, and aesthetic experience—are often marginalized. Consequently, the functions of space have become increasingly shaped by mainstream social norms and efficiency-oriented logic, further reinforcing rigid divisions between age, behavior, and use. For example, in urban playgrounds, adults are often excluded and deprived of the right to emotional expression and cultural participation in public …
Scaffolding Metacognition In Design With Generative Ai, Peter Dalsgaard
Scaffolding Metacognition In Design With Generative Ai, Peter Dalsgaard
IASDR Conference Series
This paper explores the potentials and pitfalls of Generative AI as a tool for thought in design, emphasizing its ability to scaffold meta cognition, i.e. the ability to reflect on, monitor, and regulate one's own thinking. While GenAI tools streamline creative tasks, they also risk encouraging passive use, over-reliance, and shallow engagement. The core challenge is to design these systems in ways that strengthen, rather than weaken, users’ reflective capacities. Drawing on research in meta cognition and cognitive scaffolding, as well as principles from design thinking that emphasize iterative sensemaking and reflective practice, the paper outlines strategies that foster active …

Airing Data Through Materiality: A Situated Design Approach To Data Physicalization, Annemarie Piscaer, Kristof Vrancken, Sandy Claes, Michel Van Dartel, Michel Van Dartel
IASDR Conference Series
Air pollution is both largely invisible and extensively monitored, making it a data-intensive issue that presents significant challenges for public engagement. Its abstract and often intangible nature makes it difficult for people to relate to or understand. Designers can play a role by transforming abstract (air pollution) data into tangible, context-sensitive artifacts—a practice known as data physicalization. This paper introduces “airing” as a design approach to situated data physicalization. Rather than relying on detached design approaches, airing argues for situated, real-world engagement with data. Airing data through materiality highlights the active role of materials in embedding data within the physical …

Bridging The Expectation–Reality Gap: A Systematic Design Approach To Facilitate Controllability In Human–Virtual Human Interaction, Lanxi Xiao, Qiong Wu, Yuhan Xie, Mengyu Chen, Zipeng Zhang, Xinyi Guo, Yuxin Zhu, Yating Li, Yan Dong
IASDR Conference Series
Virtual humans (VHs) are human-like intelligent agents increasingly used in human–artificial intelligence (AI) collaborative contexts, where control lability is essential for fostering user trust and ensuring a human-centered experience. Although widely adopted, VHs products are often reported to suffer from poor control lability due to the gap between the limited capabilities of narrow AI and users’ high expectations shaped by their anthropomorphic appearance. However, existing control lability theories focus primarily on action-level mechanisms such as undoing and redoing, providing limited support for users’ perceptual and cognitive understanding of interacting with and controlling AI-infused products. To bridge the expectation-reality gap, this …
Enhancing Storyboard Production With Generative Ai: A Case Study On Public Sector Digital Transformation, Eiji Kano
