Iot Deck: a Digital Card-based Ideation Game to Inspire Internet of Things Design

As the technology grows rapidly, exploring the Internet has become a common activity in our daily lives. We can expect a future image of an every daily object connecting itself to the Internet. By the development of RFID, Wireless and Mobile network technology, designers can start to consider how Internet of things (IoT) can support our lives in various scenarios. Our aim is to design an idea generation technique that creates special IoT ideas which could be utilized within the industry. The IoT deck was created to convey 20 aspects of a framework of Internet of Things to designers. The normal cards are physical cards, while the digital cards apply Augmented Reality technique with a digital table. In the case studies we have found that two techniques offering different types of inspiration, and the digital technique had improved the process of building the mood board and expanded the interaction within the design groups.
