User-centred design for industrial designers

چکیده
The association between human computer interaction methods within traditional design methods is presented in this paper. The engineering degree of industrial design and product development is composed by subjects and an international mobility program that facilitates this relationship. For this reason the role playing model is used with the aim to work with multidisciplinary teams. This paper shows study cases of interactive systems: design, prototype devices (vibrating bracelet) and evaluation of small interfaces (Tablet PC) and the assessment of this teaching experience.
