Abstract

It is argued that software system designers would benefit greatly from feedback about the consequences of a proposed design if this feedback could be obtained early in the development process. A taxonomy of possible types of feedback and other design aids is presented, and the capabilities of several existing design aid systems are described relative to this taxonomy.

The role of design fiction in participatory design processes
NordiCHI '18: Proceedings of the 10th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction

Participatory design is in essence very malleable as any design technique could lend itself to it, as long as users and stakeholders are involved. Design fictions however, have more often been used as either a vehicle for critical designs, or as a sheer ...
