“…Personas can take the form of a photo of a person and a text description. There are also instances where they take the form of a silhouette superimposed onto a stock photo of the persona's location and a brief text description [5]. These representations could also be printed on tangible models, as shown in Fig.…”

“…It involves the use of scenarios and personas to highlight the human factors in the design process. Scenario-based personas are used in user-centered design to cater to the specific needs and frustrations of the end-user [4,5]. In our case, the main purpose of using personas is to provide a way to display the information gathered from the user research segment of our project in a useful way for the design process.…”

Wheelchair tray tables offer a convenient way for wheelchair users to carry out daily tasks such as eating, reading, and using mobile devices. However, most tray tables are made to serve the majority of wheelchair users and are inaccessible to some with a limited range of motion. In our work, we address this issue by exploring the ergonomic problems and possible solutions. In this paper, we describe the human factors in the design and development of powered wheelchair tray tables. The process of humanistic co-design relies on the direct involvement of the targeted demographic in the design process. This ensures the outcome is centered around the specific needs of the individual. Our approach employs user research studies (e.g., interviews, questionnaires, and actively working with a wheelchair using co-designer) as a means towards gleaning valuable insight into the needs of wheelchair users. In these studies, we sought to explore their experiences with using tables made for wheelchairs. We also collected data about whether the tray tables required external assistance to stow and use, and the problems they faced using existing solutions. We then highlighted the various specific needs presented by the codesigners and questionnaire respondents. These needs are embodied into scenario-based personas in which they may find themselves in need of a table for use with their wheelchairs. Deriving these personas from our survey results provides an effective method of keeping the insight gathered present throughout the design process. Implications for design are discussed.

“…The method helps establish who is and consequently who is not being designed for, as Personas explicitly do not cover every conceivable user. The illustration and presentation of Personas, such as text documents, posters, foldable persona cards, paper cut-outs or movies (Saez and Garreta-Domingo, 2011;Dittenberger and Koscher, 2017) generally are supposed to be beneficial for the development team, irrespective of direct contact with users or not.…”

Section: Personas' Originmentioning

“…There is ongoing research on how to stimulate developers´ interest in Personas for internalizing key characteristics of the users for whom a product is going to be designed via specified visualisation techniques. There is research in how to visualise data in general in two-dimensional ways (Pruitt and Grudin, 2003;Nieters et al, 2007;Hunter, 2012;Lewis and Coles-Kemp, 2014) and in threedimensional ways (Saez and Garreta-Domingo, 2011;Dittenberger and Koscher, 2017), always addressing the question how to get product teams connected to specific characteristics of users. For example, Nieters et al (2007) describe the production of physical Personas in form of cards in order to stimulate interest, create fun, stickiness and confidence in persona content for product teams.…”

“…The visualisation of three-dimensional Personas instead is less disseminated, yet there exist examples of attempts to create more tangible and interactive Personas presentations. Saez and Garreta-Domingo (2011) combined the concept of Personas and scenarios and created a playful and more permanent artefact to hold the information, which should foster the understanding of users by showing their main contexts, as contexts are becoming more important with the use of mobile devices. Contrary to Weinschenk (2011) who underlines the importance of faces concerning memory, Saez and Garreta-Domingo (2011) chose to reduce the bias that a face can generate, using silhouettes instead.…”

Experiences drawn from former projects indicate a gap concerning the creation and the perpetual use of Personas throughout a project development process. This gap builds the focus of this paper. In order to develop a new approach to create a possibility for all team members to actively get involved in the Persona creation and further evolvement over the project duration, this paper offers a new option for using Personas dynamically for communication and visualization of product development stages.

Designers and system analysts have long struggled to extract and repurpose data from user research by laboriously presenting content in the form of storyboards, behavioral-type personas, or journey maps. An alternative is to convey insights from user research through scenario-based personas that represent user research data through storytelling. This provides a more streamlined way to convey data rather than character-based personas; however, scenarios are effortful for developers to articulate and envision. In this work, we empower assistive technology development teams to access authentic user experiences with scenario-based personas through tangible and digital artifacts. Scenario-based personas were used for conveying the results of a user analysis study for color identification mobile applications for people with visual impairments. We developed scenario-based personas for persons with impaired color vision based on the main contexts identified in user research studies. The method combines personas depicted in silhouettes of people with impaired color vision and scenario contexts that capture the place and activities. Silhouettes were used in the artifacts to reduce the bias that a face often generates in persona-based scenarios. Preliminary findings suggest that scenario-based persona tools were effective in describing the stories and context behind why a person with a visual disability would consider a color identification application. Through this method, scenario-based personas were able to foster understanding of the application's target user population by showing their main contexts of using these mobile applications and create playful and tangible artifacts to capture and convey such user information to designers and developers in the Humanistic Co-Design community. Methodological considerations for using scenario-based personas in user research will be discussed.
