Outline of lecture
2nd half of Fall semester, starting December 4, 2012.
This class covers the application of product design techniques, as taught in the 1st half of the semester, to a design PROJECT.
Purpose of lecture
The students will learn how to imagine creative concepts of technological products, using creativity methods for human-centered design. Based on a given theme, students are expected to identify a design problem and to propose a design solution in the form of a virtual or physical prototype. The user-friendliness and creativity of the design concept will be emphasized, not only technical quality.
Plan of lecture
The course will be conducted through several activities, applied to the students窶 own projects:
- Ethnographical research and users observations in real life
- Conceptual research centered on user experience
- Sketching (sketches, storyboards)
- Prototyping (quick-and-dirty prototyping, user experience prototyping)
- User tests (wizard-of-oz, kansei evaluation)
