“…19 and a solution with problem consciousness. Its cognitive culture and cognitive practice, reflexivity are often used in participatory design, and it is a topic for designers to formulate research methods (Kjaersgaard et al, 2021;Pihkala & Karasti, 2016). It is to provide opportunities for consumption experience by cultivating the continuity of practice, that is, immersion, adaptation, and innovation (Akaka & Schau, 2019).…”

“…So what is the relationship between design games and design anthropology, and how to intervene in the research problem as a form or method in the research process of design Anthropology? The design game in the context of design anthropology focuses on the relationship between design practices and contexts of design (Kjaersgaard et al, 2021). The practice of research must undergo profound changes, so that action is a kind of becoming, not getting, reshaping motivation and action (Ortner, 1984).…”

This paper discusses how design games play a role in design anthropology research and serve the operation method of image behavior. By defining the design game in design anthropology, we can solve the following two problems: firstly, pay attention to how to promote group cooperation and help design researchers understand the relationship between image, space and behavior; secondly, this study helps researchers understand the vague role and cultural cognition of stakeholders in participatory design. In addition, this study designs a set of design game cards, through the extraction, collage, and reorganization of film images, and further changes the observation perspective, once again expanding the game to the field of the art design and design anthropology. The ultimate goal of the research is to explore the research methods in the design process and the training of reconstruction logical thinking. In future work, the design education can use game cards as the carrier to reconstruct the cultural cognitive language.

“…We organized an initial participatory workshop with the UX practitioners, where we invited participants to describe, visualize, and materialize their current UX practices and challenges (Kjaersgaard et al 2021). From the workshop emerged the idea of digitalization as a splash in the UX pond (depicted in Figure 1), with challenges that ripple into many aspects of UX design practice.…”

This paper presents a design anthropological study with User Experience design departments from five large companies in Denmark, ranging from manufacturers of medical equipment through toys to control systems for industrial infrastructures We explore the challenges they face as products, services, and user research are increasingly connected. Our research shows that current methods, development processes, and organizational structures do not sufficiently support User Experience design teams in dealing with emerging design and organizational challenges that follow from increased digitalization. As a result, UX designers are struggling to anticipate the future of product interaction, user data, and their organizational role. In this paper, we explore how playing with theoretical concepts and introducing a new vocabulary may facilitate fundamental shifts in perspective necessary to instigate change. We deploy ‘theory cards’ in an experiment with one of the companies to see if theories might serve as instruments for seeing field material and design problems in ways more supportive for future design endeavours.
