“…Although it has been criticized because it often leads to concepts that challenge traditional humancentred design (it pushes the human user's needs, competences and capabilities to the side of design problems), the approach enables researchers to speculate around questions of 'what could it be ' (e.g. DiSalvo et al, 2014;Lindley and Sharma, 2015). Extending this, some HCI design researchers have turned towards science fiction media, which is argued to be an inspirational source of information on technological futures (e.g.…”

“…Drawing on Dunne and Raby’s (2002, 2013) influential work, this emergent field provokes a type of creative practice that enables the development of “design proposals” that oppose current orthodoxy (Auger, 2013). Although it has been criticized because it often leads to concepts that challenge traditional human-centred design (it pushes the human user’s needs, competences and capabilities to the side of design problems), the approach enables researchers to speculate around questions of “what could it be” (Di Salvo et al , 2014; Lindley and Sharma, 2015). Extending this, some HCI design researchers have turned towards science fiction media, which is argued to be an inspirational source of information on technological futures (Mubin et al , 2016) leading to innovative developments such as gesture-based interfaces (by way of example, think interactive retail windows in the film Minority Report).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a design fiction diegetic prototyping methodology and research framework for investigating service innovations that reflect future uses of new and emerging technologies. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on speculative fiction, the authors propose a methodology that positions service innovations within a six-stage research development framework. The authors begin by reviewing and critiquing designerly approaches that have traditionally been associated with service innovations and futures literature. In presenting their framework, authors provide an example of its application to the Internet of Things (IoT), illustrating the central tenets proposed and key issues identified. Findings The research framework advances a methodology for visualizing future experiential service innovations, considering how realism may be integrated into a designerly approach. Research limitations/implications Design fiction diegetic prototyping enables researchers to express a range of “what if” or “what can it be” research questions within service innovation contexts. However, the process encompasses degrees of subjectivity and relies on knowledge, judgment and projection. Practical implications The paper presents an approach to devising future service scenarios incorporating new and emergent technologies in service contexts. The proposed framework may be used as part of a range of research designs, including qualitative, quantitative and mixed method investigations. Originality/value Operationalizing an approach that generates and visualizes service futures from an experiential perspective contributes to the advancement of techniques that enables the exploration of new possibilities for service innovation research.

There is an increased sensitivity by people about how companies collect information about them, and how this information is packaged, used and sold. This perceived lack of control is highlighted by the helplessness of users of various platforms in managing or halting what data is collected from/about them. In a future where users have wrested control of their data and have the autonomy to decide what information is collected, how it is used and most importantly, how much it is worth, a new market emerges. This design fiction considers possible steps prescient companies would take to meet these demands, such as providing third-party subscription platforms offering personal data trade as a service. These services would provide a means for transparent transactions that preserve an owner's

“…This was particularly beneficial in supplementing the findings of our first phase, as our attempts at engaging in design ideation through an interview proved challenging for our participants and yielded little meaningful data. The speculative nature of our body mapping method, however, allows for more fruitful design ideation of expressive wearables not constrained by the availability of specific technologies and offer opportunities for critical conversations surrounding ethical expressive wearables and marginalized bodies [89,129].…”

Wearable Identities: Understanding Wearables’ Potential for Supporting the Expression of Queer Identities

Queer identity research largely overlooks wearable technology. Most work exploring sociocultural considerations of wearable technology determines what is "socially acceptable" based on privileged bodies, excluding queer perspectives. We address this by establishing the foundations of a knowledge base for wearables that support queer expression. We conducted a two-phase qualitative study exploring queer expressive practices and wearable technologies through 16 semi-structured interviews and 15 body mapping workshops with the queer community. We observed themes framing the queer community's understanding of queer expression, wearable technology, and wearable technology for queer users. Providing discussions on current trends in queer expression and wearable technology use, along with design considerations, our work enables the creation of wearable technologies that offer meaningful user experiences for the queer community.CAUTION: This paper discusses topics that could trigger those with histories of homophobia, transphobia, gender dysphoria, racism or eating disorders. Please use caution when engaging with this work. viii
