Tips for presentation for 28.3.
| User Research Task / The First Week | |
|---|---|
| Structure | In the first week of the class, participants are supposed to interview and observe at least one family that faces the co-experience in the car situation. - field study takes place between 19-26 March - data analysis workshop 27 March, 13-17, room 869 - presenting the results for feedback 29 March: 9-12 preparing presentations; 13-17, room 857, feedback session, with outside experts involved |
| Background materials | Search accident statistics from the Web. What causes car accidents? How often does doing something with other people in the car cause accidents? In what situations? |
| Stage 1: interviewing and observing | We'll break into three groups in the first lecture. Each group has to find 2 families with children for the study, conduct an interview, take photographs, and make some measurements in their cars. Questions ought to focus on: activities in the car; material things used to support these activities; interaction in these activities; dangerous points in interaction; driving situations; risk situations; |
| Stage 2: "bodystorming" | To identify design opportunities, each group must spend time in the car bought for the class, script situations of interaction, and enact them. Let's call this "bodystorming" after IDEO's old word. Two references about this method here: IDEO, HIIT. |
| Stage 3: concept creation | Based on user study and bodystorming, each group must create a concept to be presented for the class and outside experts on 28 March. The concept must be illustrated with a use case, either verbal or visual (example of a visual use case, author Turkka Keinonen). |
| Next steps | After concepts have been identified, 31 March is used for benchmarking similar solutions and 1-3 April for refining concepts. Desicions about which concepts go into prototyping take place 3 April 13-17 in room 857 |
