ABSTRACT
For emerging group technologies that require evaluations on long-term use and social norms, assumptions, and implicit rules that develop around the technologies, standard usability testing may not be adequate. At the same time, field based research that allows for observing technology use over long-term is costly in terms of time. In this paper, we present a rapid method that we call progressive scenarios, which could help replicate the processes by which interpretations evolve over time in natural settings and how invisible assumptions and social norms dictate the technology use. Using a preliminary design concept of a publicly available ambient personal information and communication system, we demonstrate how the method helped to elicit design implications.

Challenges faced when teaching how to write a user scenario
ECCE '17: Proceedings of the European Conference on Cognitive ErgonomicsThe importance of the scenarios in the user-centered design process of low complexity interactive systems is well documented in various academic and professional articles. The aim of this study is to reveal the undocumented properties that distinguish ...
What Properties Make Scenarios Useful in Design for Usability?
HCD 09: Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Human Centered Design: Held as Part of HCI International 2009As described herein, we propose heuristics of scenario for designing usable products. From a structural viewpoint, a similarity exists between the definition of usability in ISO 9241-11 and the concept of scenario for designing a product, which suggests ...
Of Models, Rationales and Prototypes: Studying Designer Needs in an Airborne Maritime Surveillance Drawing Tool to Support Audio Communication
BCS-HCI '14: Proceedings of the 28th International BCS Human Computer Interaction Conference on HCI 2014 - Sand, Sea and Sky - Holiday HCIIn this work, we seek to understand the needs of interaction designers involved in industrial system engineering processes. While current research offers a set of methods and tools for them, we believe that more empirical user studies focusing on ...
