Interactive Drama and User Centered Product Concept Design

Abstract
We combine the skills of designers and theater professionals in a methodological project, in which user-centered design and drama methods are simultaneously applied to study the same user group. One of the goals is to develop a set of design tools, with which user experience and group dynamics are revealed simultaneously, and to establish a design process based on these findings.

We will compare the results produced by traditional User Centered Product Concept Design (UCPCD) [9] and drama methods by conducting research in parallel using both approaches.

Keywords
User-Centered Design, Interactive theater, Design methods, Experience Design, Concept Design, Narratives.
