“…This project is part of a Brazil-Norway collaborative project on education, research and development of interdisciplinarity approaches to Product Design, Health, Rehabilitation and Rapid Prototyping technologies [9]. Other results from this initiative have been reported in contexts of universal control for smarthomes appliances [10], text entry adaptations and keyboard layout for improving typing efficiency [11][12][13][14], and strategies of empathy development for inclusive design [15].…”

This study reports on a social project involving a collaborative process to co-create toys together with hospitalized children, using Virtual Reality, play practices and 3D Printing technologies. The project had two main phases: the co-creative process with the children and the production of prototypes based on the children's creative drawings. For the activities involving the children, static virtual reality environments were created to stimulate the children to draw. These drawings were used as reference for the design of 3D toys that then were printed in plastic. A positive effect of the experience on the children's behaviour was observed during the hospital routine procedures. Despite the technology required and considerably high cost for producing custom pieces with 3D printing, the project was executed successfully. This initiative shows the potential for practical interdisciplinary collaboration approaches between product design and health sciences.

Traditional engineering methods are considered unsuitable for the development of usable and engaging interactive systems such as online experimentation and simulation software. For systems involving users, user-centric design approaches are more appropriate. The ideation stage of design involves exploring the space of opportunities. One commonly held view in design disciplines is that quantity leads to quality. Yet, for related non-design disciplines such as engineering, quantity is often regarded as a negative characteristic associated with low quality. Focusing on quality alone may lead to inferior user experience and ineffective systems. This study describes an initiative to (1) collect empirical evidence to support the design-belief that quantity leads to quality and (2) to use the activity and its results as part of a pedagogical strategy to enhance students' awareness of the connections between quantity and quality during ideation. A class of 100 computer science students was divided into two groups. Both groups were given the same task to design a textinput strategy for individuals with motor disabilities but with different focuses: one group was asked to focus on quality of ideas and the other group on the quantity of ideas. The results show that the students who focused on quantity of ideas produced better quality concepts compared to the students that focused on quality. The results were presented to and discussed with the students as a part of the learning process.
