ABSTRACT
This workshop aims to identify and improve current strategies and practices for transferring knowledge from qualitative user studies to become inspiration for an experience-centered design process. The message (e.g., qualitative user study results) can be skewed when passed on from one phase to another in the design and development process. Moreover, the way insights are communicated is often not inspiring enough. We intend to get practitioners and academics engaged in a discussion about how to best transfer research findings of especially qualitative user studies and prevent loss of valuable information. Best practices, failure and success stories are especially welcomed as contributions. At the end of this workshop we will have identified strengths of a few methods, tools, and techniques selected from examples of best practices. Also, we will have summarized limitations and challenges of knowledge transfer and communication practices within experience-centered design.

The reflexive printer: toward making sense of perceived drawbacks in technology-mediated reminiscence
DIS '14: Proceedings of the 2014 conference on Designing interactive systemsThe Reflexive Printer is a physical artifact combined with a mobile application. It allows digital-photo natives to enrich their experiences of daily reminiscence. Each day, the system takes one picture from a user's smartphone album, prints it on ...
Co-creating & identity-making in CSCW: revisiting ethics in design research
CSCW Companion '14: Proceedings of the companion publication of the 17th ACM conference on Computer supported cooperative work & social computingThe evolving philosophies, methods, and products of CSCW design research are more collaborative and value-active than ever. Researchers and participants may co-construct designs, thus sharing power; they may share intimate life stories over design ...
Aesthetics and experience-centered design
The aesthetics of human-computer interaction and interaction design are conceptualized in terms of a pragmatic account of human experience. We elaborate this account through a framework for aesthetic experience built around three themes: (1) a holistic ...
