UCD in Wearable Computing - A Case Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports experiences with applying UCD methods obtained during the development of a wearable prototype for the ward round in a hospital. Considering the non-computer related primary task in the design of the wearable system introduces a number of issues to applying existing UCD methods. This paper identifies a number of challenges that arise using specific UCD methods, as well as challenges that cut across the whole UCD process. These challenges and their implications are briefly discussed. However, the main focus lies on uncovering the breadth of problems.

This paper is based on the research which was conducted earlier on Kansei Engineering (KE) and resulted in a new concept for scissors to redesign it with another method called “User Centered Design” (UCD). This is a shift from translation of the consumers’ psychological feeling about a product related to their perception of the design (KE) to focus on designing for and involving users in the de...

متن کاملPervasive assistive technology for people with dementia: a UCD case
Smart mobile and wearable technology offers exciting opportunities to support people with dementia (PwD). Its ubiquity and popularity could even benefit user adoption - a great challenge for assistive technology (AT) for PwD that calls for user-centred design (UCD) methods. This study describes a user-centred approach to developing and testing AT based on off-the-shelf pervasive technologies. A...
