ABSTRACT
We present a rapid, iterative, and remote (RIR) approach as a collaborative method for combining designers’ feedback in creating translational tools by HCI researchers to make academic knowledge accessible to designers. RIR allows refining and validating the design of translational tools through exhaustive rapid iterations on several versions of tools. To demonstrate RIR, we present a study of translational design cards in the context of societal resilience with 14 participants. In the paper, we share our study experience, challenges, and lessons learned in conducting the RIR method. Reflecting on our experience, we provide recommendations on various aspects of the method, such as onboarding, activity design, card interactions, schedule management, data collection and analysis, and decision-making processes. We hope our study experience and recommendations open doors for researchers to use the RIR method for designing translational tools for diverse design spaces.
