“…Faced with the often fuzzy front-end of design where questions like what to do, how to do it, where to begin, and what do the users need, ultimately, to be successful, are better addressed by making users part of the process, from the very beginning. Many types of idea generation models have been introduced to support that critical part of the process, with mixed evidence regarding their effectiveness (Liikkanen, Hämäläinen, Haggman, Bjorklund, & Koskinen, 2011). The wood-block approach follows and extends the traditional path of user-centered design process models, which typically observe user activities, document those observations, and then create a design based on that documentation (Oulasvirta et al, 2003).…”

Inspired by the intuitive prototyping method employed by Palm Pilot founder Jeff Hawkins, this formative field study recreates and reimagines his generative techniques as a new methodology that could be useful for mobile media designers. Viewed theoretically through an activity theory lens, this approach also integrates bodystorming ideals as a way to externalize and embody user perspectives about the potential of place-based media, in situ, using a proposed National Park Service app, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, as an example. Such data gathering, especially early in the design process, could help user-centered projects gather otherwise inaccessible feedback, leading to better designs, through tailored content and interfaces, particularly at the dynamic intersections of digital and physical space.

“…Evaluation scales were novelty, utility, and feasibility of an idea. The scales were decided by referring a previous study [10]. Each of ideas was evaluated by five-point rate (0: lowest and 4: highest).…”

New products are frequently launched in the world. Most of new products can be assumed as combinations of existing products. All of the combinations do not always become seeds of new selling products. Each existing product has its own functions. A new function may be thought up by combining two existing products. If a thought up function is feasible, the combination may be a seed of a new selling product. This paper proposes a feasibility evaluation system of functions obtained by product combination for supporting idea creation of a new product. The system makes phrases representing new functions obtained by product combination. The system evaluates whether each of new functions is feasible or not. The system outputs combinations with feasible functions. The experiments for idea generation showed the following two findings: (1). Ideas of high novelty were obtained from combinations with functions of low feasibility. (2). Ideas of high utility were obtained from combinations with two new feasible functions.

“…For assessing ideation quality, researchers usually are guided by the following four steps: First, unique ideas from an ideation session are identified; second, a quality score is assigned to each individual idea (usually done by domain experts, who understand and interpret the ideas [21]); third, by using one of the four approaches discussed below, a metric value is computed, which is used, forth, to make statistical comparisons between treatments of every session threshold [25].…”

“…There is a huge variety of criteria to give a score to each individual idea: The creativity of an idea is usually assessed through novelty -how unusual or unexpected an idea is compared to the other ideas [29] -and quality (feasibility or the readiness for implementation and the detail of description [8,9]) [21]. Other criteria are utility [21], effectiveness [32], the value ideas could create [3], the importance of an idea within a specific context [33], and the magnitude of impact an idea might have [7].…”

“…Other criteria are utility [21], effectiveness [32], the value ideas could create [3], the importance of an idea within a specific context [33], and the magnitude of impact an idea might have [7]. Usually semantic differentials, such as Likert scales, or rubrics that evaluate one or more dimensions are used to measure those criteria [25].…”

Abstract. In practice, most creativity techniques are still performed with traditional tools, such as pen and paper, whiteboards, and flipcharts. When transforming these techniques into a digital environment, the reduction of organizational overhead is the main goal to foster accessibility. Still, we do not know if overhead reduction fosters creativity or if it eliminates an important part of the creative process. To get a deeper understanding of these effects, we compare the performance of the creativity technique SIS (Systematic Integration of Solution Elements) in a traditional setting with a setup based on multiple interactive surfaces. By using a mix of diverse evaluation methods, we show how the use of a digital interactive creativity room can really foster creativity and produce better results.
