We report a case study of designing a mobile phone of the future, involving participatory requirements elicitation using a form of scenario-based design. Participants took photographs and wrote essays that illustrate their personal interests and perspectives on given themes. They then analyzed the photos and essays. They created scenarios and posed questions about the scenarios to envision contexts of future use. The participants produced novel design concepts and provided design insights even though they had no design training.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
