Our focus is on exploring participatory and basic design methods for interaction design. We use workshops as settings to probe new strategies and evaluate interdisciplinary collaboration tools. These methods are applied in research fields such as transformation design, sonic interaction, banking experience and embodied interaction.
Keywords: participatory design, design methods, design strategies, design tools
