Using Image Boards to Analyze A Series of Cyborg Design Sketches

Published: 01 April 2020 Publication History

Abstract

We present the main conclusions from an analysis of a cyborg design session in which sketches were created to brainstorm novel cyborg applications. We take these sketches and analyze them using image boards, which are a collage of pictures used to communicate a description of design aesthetics and intent. We used this technique to derive patterns and conclusions from the large set of sketches, which can inform the design of future cyborg applications. The sketches reveal that wearable arms are useful for reducing physical strain and multi-tasking, but should incorporate a ''rest'' mode in full-time applications.
