Simulating 'Lived' User Experience - Virtual Immersion and Inclusive Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper explores the theories and practices underpinning Virtual Immersion, a discount technique proposed to help designers gain deep understanding of, and empathise with, their users. Four essential elements to this technique are identified and empirical evidence for its usefulness is provided. A study is reported in which the technique was applied to establishing design requirements for a mobile phone for two different groups of users.

متن کاملInclusive Design of Ambient Knowledge Transfer
Inclusive Design of knowledge transfer aims to involve different learners and coaches into the transfer process of knowledge in a way that actively supports learning. In this paper we elaborate some benefits for learners and coaches when applying major principles of Maria Montessori along the transfer process of knowledge. Benefits stem from learners’ self control and individualised learning ex...
