Abstract
Interaction design requires many forms of externalization. At certain points in the process, there is a need for design representations that (1) explore the intended use situation in some detail, and still (2) appear tentative enough to afford participation and engagement by intended users and other stakeholders. The designer's task is often to create ideas on the not-yet-existing. The envisioned use situations increasingly involve complicated technology, mobile use and demanding physical environments. Under these conditions, a third requirement on the representation technique is that it (3) allows for expression of ideas and use situations that would be impractical or impossible to create in conventional prototyping techniques. (An obvious example is the observation that lo-fi paper prototypes are of limited use for virtual reality design.)

Intercultural design for use: extending usage-centered design by cultural aspects
DUXU'13: Proceedings of the Second international conference on Design, User Experience, and Usability: health, learning, playing, cultural, and cross-cultural user experience - Volume Part IIIn this paper the Usage-Centered Design approach is suggested as structured process for Intercultural HCI Design. Usage-Centered Design is extended by cultural models to take into account the cultural aspects in HCI design. The extensions cover as well ...
A Critique of Personas as representations of "the other" in Cross-Cultural Technology Design
AfriCHI '16: Proceedings of the First African Conference on Human Computer InteractionA literature review on cross-cultural personas reveals both, a trend in projects lacking accomplishment and personas reinforcing previous biases. We first suggest why failures or incompleteness may have ensued, while then we entice a thoughtful ...
Communication functions and the adaptation of design representations in interdisciplinary teams
DIS '04: Proceedings of the 5th conference on Designing interactive systems: processes, practices, methods, and techniquesDesign representations in user-centered design serve intentions for directing design process and communication functions for enlisting interdisciplinary participation. To disentangle these two factors, a vocabulary for identifying communication ...
