Discovery-Driven Prototyping for User-Driven Creativity
Youn-kyung Lim, Daesung Kim, Jaesung Jo, Jong-bum Woo · IEEE Pervasive Computing · 2012
It has always been challenging for designers and developers to readily pinpoint potentially viable opportunities for emerging technologies in people's daily lives. In ubiquitous computing in particular, the uncontrollable dynamics of a user's context makes this issue even more prominent. In this article, the authors assume they can't hypothesize what users of new technologies will desire. To address this challenge, they developed discovery-driven prototyping, which lets users control what they will do with new technologies. Here, the authors describe DDP and its effectiveness through a series of in- situ user studies.
