Designing interaction for designers
Kristin Carlson, Thecla Schiphorst · 2013
This paper explores the connection between how users interact with a computational system for purposes of designing collaborative creativity support tools. We focus on the term defamiliarization as a disorientation technique used to actively engage users, provoking innovative interaction experiences. We have looked to literature in interaction design, creativity and education to explore terminology around defamiliarization in creative decision-making processes. We identified components of user agency, system guidance and novelty as important elements to use in designing for enticing interaction and provocative results in collaborative creativity support tools.
