week 14. designing frames of interactive things

1. students present progress report of final project + Annotated Portfolios

2. framing interactive things:

    embodiment, metaphor, agency, perceptual crossing
2.

Understanding expressions of internet of things from Rung-Huei Liang



3.

Exercise:
Design your artifacts with the above two frameworks.

week 13. annotated portfolios

1. what are the annotations of these music players?

2. 

What are the possible annotations for Wake-up light?

X

What are the possible annotations for Scentonight?

What are the possible annotations for Fonckel?

What are the possible annotations for Twins?

What are the possible annotations for Goodnight Lamp?

Draw a new sketch based on these annotated portfolios

What should we expect from research through design?

Annotated portfolios 

suggested forms:

   (1) Ving + adj. + N.

   (2) N. and N.

   (3) Ving+ N. + as + N.

   (4)  N. + for + N.

 

suggested concerns:

• the functionality of the design (what should it do?) and by implication the value of certain activities (is this worth doing?)

• its aesthetics (what form and appearance should the artifact take?) 

• the practicalities of its production (what materials, skills, and tools are needed to make it?) 

• the motivation for making (why are we doing this? what are we trying to show?) 

• the identities and capabilities of the people for whom the artifact is intended (what will our users make of this? how can we best design for them?) 

• sociopolitical concerns (what sort of culture will this encourage or resist?)

The logic of annotated portfolios: communicating the value of 'research through design'

Strategies for Annotating Portfolios: Mapping Designs for New Domains

Feature research:

 

Designing with AI: An Exploration of Co-Ideation with Image Generators

Final project annotated portfolios presentation:

1. Progress report

2. Each group present at least 4 relevant artifacts and their annotations

as "stragegies for annotating portfolios", describe your annotations and design space 

Deadline: Dec. 4th, 2024

week 12. coding & thematic analysis

0. Students present preliminary results of cultural probes

First :
 Things making Things: An Ethnography of the Impossible


What is ethnography ?
What is phenomenology?
How do they relate to design?


1.

Ethnographic vs Phenomenological Research Designs

2. Qualitative methodologies: ethnography, phenomenology, grounded theory and more

3. very short introduction:

Notes on Ethnography and Design

phenomenological approach:

I

1.  （phenomenological epoché）(現象學懸置) bracket

2. （eidetic intuition）「本質直觀」

3 . phenomenological reduction (現象學還原)

      懸置：存而不論，也就是排除一切預設立場與預設方法

      本質直觀：對現象進行直觀的描述，尋找其本質
      現象學還原：懸置之後，透過對事物的"直觀描述"，尋找其本質性
                          的基礎。

II 

   Phenomenological Interpretation

4. Blomberg et al. 經典:
An Ethnographic Approach to Design

5. Ethnographic Data Analysis:
     http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~irene/l17-ethnography_analysis.pdf

6. Method: Thematic Analysis

     https://www.scribbr.com/methodology/thematic-analysis/ 

    six-step process: 

      familiarization, 

      coding, 

      generating themes, 

      reviewing themes,

     defining and naming themes, 

     writing up.

Question:
1. how to apply ethnography (/phenomenology) to "cultural probes", how to apply ethnography (/phenomenology) to the study of design artifacts?

2. when to use ethnography? when to use phenomenology?

3. How to practically use "coding" and "thematic analysis" in cultural probes?

week 11. framing design

1. work in progress report

   check: themes, and strong concepts

   (group discussion in 10 mins and present)

   example : interaction Tarot

2. Framing design

Framing design in the Third Paradigm

Reference:
The Three Paradigms of HCI

Interaction Tarot: A Card-BasedDesign of Knowledge Construction for Brainstorming in HCI.

Poetics of Future Work: Blending Speculative Design withArtistic Methodology

[Exploratory Framing] progress report (11/20)

1. presenting collected data, organizing if necessary

2. What are the ordinary and non-ordinary data? What are the possible implications?

3.  Probe-primed interview, or probe-primed auto-ethnography

4. What are the focusing, grounding, priming, and  framing and re-framing of your projects? What are anticipatory framing and social framing?

5. What are the expression of your data suggest?

week 10. strong concepts

1. work-in-progress report of cultural probes


2. Strong concepts

1. Jonas Löwgren. 2013. Annotated portfolios and other forms of intermediate-level knowledge.interactions 20, 1 (January 2013), 30-34.

2. Kristina Höök and Jonas Löwgren. 2012. Strong concepts: Intermediate-level knowledge in interaction design research. ACM Trans. Comput.-Hum. Interact. 19, 3, Article 23 (October 2012), 18 pages.

(pp. 23:11- 23:13)
4 constructs:
1. contextual grounding
2. horizontal grounding
3. vertical grounding
4. reflection, articulation, and abstraction

4.

Between theory and practice: bridging concepts in HCI research

Somaesthetic Appreciation Design (CHI15)

Guidelines for Design Process:
1. Interpret your data with rich interpretation, inspiration, imagination, and discourse.
2. Specify several "themes" related to the above interpretation.
3. Build "strong concepts" (in terms of 4 constructs) to meet these themes
4. Give form to these strong concepts, such as mood boards, and cards.
5. Discuss possible expressions (如何用 expression 開展設計) for your design based on these strong concepts
