“…This line of work has been introduced earlier, e.g. in [26,27], and the validation of SFPs has been demonstrated in [3,8]. As compared to this earlier research, this article nevertheless emphasized the user research results, thus allowing the process control workers' opinions to be justifiably heard.…”

Abstract. This article introduces user experience research that has been carried out by evaluating a video-illustrated science fiction prototype with process control workers. Essentially, the prototype 'A remote operator's day in a future control center in 2025' was aimed at discovering opportunities for new interaction methods and ambient intelligence for the factories of the future. The theoretical objective was to carry out experience design research, which was based on explicit ambient user experience goals in the nominated industrial work context. This article describes the complete creative prototyping process, starting from the initial user research that included evaluations of current work practices, technological trend studies and co-design workshops, and concluding with user research that assessed the final design outcome, the science fiction prototype. The main contribution of the article is on the ambient user experience goals, the creation process of the video-illustrated science fiction prototype, and on the reflection of how the experience-driven prototype was evaluated in two research setups: as video sequences embedded in a Web survey, and as interviews carried out with expert process control workers. For the science fiction prototyping process, the contribution demonstrates how the method may employ video-illustration as a means for future-oriented user experience research, and how complementary user-centered methods may be used to validate the results.

“…Time is short and attention is shorter in this economy, so I decided I would ask them to keep it to five minutes, and give them some pointers about what to cover in that time. Johnson [23] has helpfully enumerated "Five Steps" to creating a science fiction prototype -those five steps, it seemed to me, would provide a most practical recipe [25] containing every ingredient that goes into a ubicomp story; or a "Design Fiction" [5] [44] as they call it (DF for short). So that is the story of how I arrived at the novel implementation of Participatory Design Fiction (PDFi) that I used in my study of obstacles to wearable computing [37].…”

“…For instance, creative writing has been described as offering a therapeutic process (Bishop, 1993), and reading of poetry and fiction has been implicated in enhancing understanding of, and empathy toward, others (Djikic, Oatley, & Moldoveanu, 2013;Hanauer, 2003;Johnson, 2013). Far from an activity foreign to scientists and innovators, creative writing occurs in industry and higher education, for instance in the form of science fiction prototyping (Atherton, 2016;Draudt et al, 2015;Kymalainen et al, 2015). Creative writing has also been linked to changes in persuasive writing performance and writing metacognition (Iida, 2012), and Alshreif and Nicholes (2017) found that students expressed feelings of enhanced metacognition after writing poetry and short stories in the areas of writingstrategy effectiveness awareness and perceived quality of final drafts.…”

The present study adopted a case-study qualitative design to discover how science undergraduates at one public university in the eastern U.S. understood writing and how they evaluated creative or personal writing in relation to their science identities. Findings suggest that science majors in this volunteer sample defined science writing as distinct from other kinds of writing, but they also saw creative writing as personally enjoyable and valuable. The discussion explores an observation that science educators may be able to leverage creative, imaginative writing to give students chances to demonstrate how creative narratives do not lie beyond the boundaries of scientific discourse, as well as for reflective and writing-to-learn purposes for students.
