week 9. probe discussion

1. students (in group) present probe toolkits

2. more detail examples in
 

Making design probes work

Designing for an other Home: Expanding and Speculating on Different Forms of Domestic Life (DIS 18)

Evaluation Probes

Perspective probe: many parts add up to a whole perspective

Medium probes: exploring the medium not the message

See you on the subway: exploring mobile social software

Vulnerability of displacement: challenges for integrating refugees and asylum seekers in host communities

Making history: intentional capture of future memories

3. preparing exercises in

[progress report]

Data collection report of  probes in final project Nov. 14th

week 8. probology

1. students present Cultural Probes for each team
2. 

Cultural probes from Rung-Huei Liang

3. introducing
"How HCI Interprets the Probes":

2. X-Probes:
(1) identify probes
(2) urban probes
(3) domestic probes
(4) value probes
(5) empathy probes
(6) mobile probes
(7) digital cultural probes
(8) cognitive probes
(9) technology probes

3. original probes features v.s. x-probes

epistemology-> methodology -> methods
epistemology->probology->probes

Cultural probes and the value of uncertainty

Interpreting the Probes for final project, each team:
1. write down your own probology rules (or beliefs)
2. redesign your probes with various media and methods, according to your probology
3. collect probing data
4. interpret the data, seek the meanings, and perhaps the underlying intentionality behind phenomena.

Deadlines: Nov. 14, 2022.

Report:

1.  Each student present one type of probes in "How HCI Interprets the Probes" 

  (Oct 24, 2022)

2. Final project progress report (Oct 24, 2022)

week 5. presentation & discussion

1. Students present proposals for ACM submission.

2. EX2: Living with data  (10/17)

             auto-ethnography method

Questions:
1. How do we live with data?
2. How do we perceive (feel) the data we live with?
3. What is the form of data to live with?
4. How are the correlation of different data?

EX2: living with data

Conduct an activity to answer the above questions.
Presentation date: Oct. 3, 2022. Oct. 17, 2022
