Experimenting introductory tools for innovation and participatory design

Published: 29 November 2010 Publication History

Abstract

Innovation often starts with a trigger: a new element made available that leads to new ideas, products and activities. A participatory approach is presented, to exploit such triggers and find possible new uses and interactions. The paper focuses on tools to introduce these new elements to participants with an experiment of several workshops. We discuss the variety of results obtained with different tools presented as the starting point for this approach.
