2007 User Inspired Design

The document summarizes the objectives and activities of the User Inspired Design course from October to December 2007. The course aimed to teach concept design processes using a user-centered approach. Students learned to collect and apply user information to generate concept designs through cross-disciplinary teamwork and dealing with ill-defined problems. For their project on "Presence", the multi-disciplinary student team conducted user studies such as cultural probes and interviews. They analyzed the data to develop concept designs and scenarios, which were presented and evaluated.
